To Race or Not To Race - Part 2

This question is getting harder to answer as each day passes, so what do you think? Check out the poll on the right and vote.

Right after my first PT session, I was initially torn. I thought I might race if I felt up to it. Then I overdid it on the elliptical and I couldn't walk, let alone run a race. I made up my mind I would take it easy and not do the race.

I don't get a refund of my race registration fee so I am still picking up my race packet. My husband went to pick it up at the running store but then they ran out of race bibs and my husband did not have time to wait for the race director to return with more. I would have told him to just get my shirt, but he was considerate enough to think I still might change my mind and so I would want the bib, just in case. So he said he'd come back later.

Then I get an email from my running team and they have cancelled the long run because others are going to do the race. I am so bummed out; I was looking forward to the run this weekend. So now I'm tempted to do the race again.

I decided to save my husband a second trip and go out tonight to get the packet. I put the boys in the van and off we went. I promised them ice cream if they came with me. One big problem - I forgot where the running store was! I still don't have my race packet. I did get some mocha chip ice cream, however. (See why I need to run?)

I don't know what this all means! Should I do the race or not???

Yesterday I had my second PT session and it was pretty intense. I have several more calf strengthening exercises and I can feel the burn. I did manage to run 3 miles today and can feel it in my posterior tibialis muscles. But not as bad as usual.

Anyway - tell me what you think! Take the poll and vote.
