That's HUGE given your back issues. Unfortunately, I know exactly where you're coming from and knew immediately what happened when you posted about your "back going out". I had/have the same injury and it took me out for 3 months in 2012. So glad you're healing quickly and back on the roads already! You'll get that goal time and then some!!

We always keep our eyes set on a PR, but remember there is HUGE victory in every finish and truly there is joy to be found in every step and mile along the way!

It's so hard to be confined to "the bench" when you've been working so hard.<br /><br />A good friend of mine says not being able to run the race she had planned for next weekend feels like a breakup to her. I plan to write her words of wisdom on my blog soon.

You are of course very smart to adjust your goals. A finish becomes a victory in itself when you are facing what you are facing. Get a lot of rest after the race and get healthy for HTC :) I'll be thinking about you! xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17206664786721543124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941649773976906940.post-53446552003470474312013-05-10T13:35:52.043-07:002013-05-10T13:35:52.043-07:00Ugh!!

I have my eyes set on getting my 1st one in the fall, but I also know training and then race day can bring different stories. So I am prepping myself now for "What if". Rest up and do the best you can.
