Chanthana it was a tough call t...

It was a tough call to make, but I decided not to run the San Francisco full marathon on July 25. I changed my event to run the first half marathon (I'll begin about 12 mins after the start of the marathon). After a long talk with my coach and some thinking alone, I decided this was the best scenario since I will be running the Chicago Marathon 11 weeks after SFM. Eleven weeks is cutting it close considering I would have to take ~3 weeks off after SFM, and then ramping up my CM training. (ugh, I have a lump in my throat now! Such a cry-baby!)
So, I'll continue to focus on Chicago because that is where I'm going to BQ!!!
I'm running the first half; see you there!

Gurmeet, I'm still going to SF. I'm just changing the event. And the good news is I won't be in as much pain after the race. haha

Aw that's a big decision, Chanthana and I have to agree about making the right decision. Take this change, and save it to savor the following year. :)
