Great post and some wise words. I was once in a similar situation and felt great pressure to do an event but my body was not cooperating. I finally decided to take it one week at a time, keep training, but leave the decision to run the event undecided until the week before and just enjoy the journey - whatever it becomes. Enjoy where you are and what you can do - the marathon will happen (or not), but have fun with the weeks in between.<BR/><BR/>Amy<BR/>http://blog.runnerslounge.comAmy@RunnersLoungehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903223842488918554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318685393163464695.post-36868264641098234092007-09-05T18:52:00.000-05:002007-09-05T18:52:00.000-05:00Great blog Nancy, very inspiring!AND...You are not...Great blog Nancy, very inspiring!<BR/><BR/>AND...You are not an impostor, nor a phony...I'll have to take your club and knock some sense into you! ;)<BR/><BR/>I like John Bingham's books, I own all three. I pick them up whenever I need to read about the lighter side of running; they are also informative and funny, and a good reminder of DOs and DON'Ts. <BR/><BR/>I was very relieved to read that you choose to continue to make running a part of your life, after all I enjoy your posts! ;)Running Raggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450304849425193511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318685393163464695.post-72263108119513387672007-09-05T18:05:00.000-05:002007-09-05T18:05:00.000-05:00You are where you are and I will always be honored...You are where you are and I will always be honored and proud to stand beside of you. When you could have quit (and lots of people have thrown in the towel for lots less) you didn't. When you could have hidden behind your injury/cold you stood up and said, "Here I am." WHAT A WOMAN!

You have to find joy in the short runs, even if they are shorter than you want, becuase then you can appreciate how hard you worked to get where you are.

Aren't his words just fantastic for making you feel like you can take the world on, and with one hand tied behind your back? And the best part is - you CAN. We are our own heroes, and I think SuperNancy is particularly super today for taking down 4 miles in the face of the sickness.
