DNS – Did Not Start
It was a tough, borderline decision not to run this morning. Haven’t run in 4 weeks and with all the Boston Marathon activity going on here, I’m going through withdrawal! Ok, maybe not that extreme, but I have been living vicariously through so many friends who are running on Monday, and also getting my own fill of Boston sports 'hitting' a Red Sox game, 'checking' out a Bruins game, as well as going through the Boston Marathon expo, hearing guest lecturers (met Christopher McDougall author of Born to Run) and just feeling the energy and vibe of the city, palpable!
Anyway, I really wanted to run this race - not fast, just for fun - especially since my left calf is feeling so much better - just not well enough to justify risking further injury when I’m so close to being healed. Well, the start/finish is only 5 blocks away from home, and the course goes right by my block, so it couldn’t be any more convenient...
Ah, but it just wasn’t meant to be, thus my first DNS. I will however make sure to run the course route another day (open to traffic of course), after all it is just steps out the door.
Good luck to all those running the Boston Marathon tomorrow!
