To Run, or Not to Run...

I have been training for the Salt Lake 1/2 marathon on April 19th, training is going good... I'm getting in my miles, but my body & my head can't seem to get on the same page. Between my body trying to figure itself back out after having a baby, along with nursing & the added stress & strain of all the running... things aren't really figuring themselves out. I feel like my body is so confused & isn't able to do what it wants & needs. I really want to run this race, because I got the idea in my head, I've put hours into running my mileage & I just want to finish what I've started. But I've had this nagging feeling for the last week that I really need to slow down a bit.

After really thinking about what is most important here (which would be the health of my body, so that I can continue nursing Milo) I've decided to not run the race. It was a hard decision to actually agree to, I know it was the right decision. There is a 5k option in the race that I'm going to run, I with they had a 10k, but nope.

I am going to find a 1/2 marathon at the end of the summer to run, giving myself more time to slowly build up my miles. There is a 5k race that Jeff & I want to run in early April here in OKC, it has a 10k option, so I am considering that, because it's something I could do at this point.
