Sad news, Daily Mile friends. I'm not going to run the NJ Marathon on May 2. I could point to a handful of reasons why I hurt my hip, but right now that's a moot point.

But I'm not going to stop all together. I'm going to see if I can run the 1/2 marathon that's being held on the same day. The Ocean Drive 10 is on March 28, and you better believe I'm going to be there.

I'm sad. I am. But I'm also in a lot of pain, and it keeps me up at night. I feel lighter having made this decision today. Really.

    Sad to hear you won't be doing the full. If you're in pain should you still be doing both the 10-miler and the half? Is the injury something you have someone look at?

    Justin - I could keep going, but I'm choosing not to. Given my crap insurance, seeing someone isn't an option right now. I'll be fine.

    It's not the last race you'll do. Rest up, treat it best you can, and come back strong. Time away is good sometimes. Good luck -

    Sorry to hear you aren't going to be doing the marathon but I bet your body appreciates you listening to it. Good luck with the 10 miler and the half!
