I Quit... and then Unquit

I ordered the steak.  I can substitute a salad for the garlic mashed?  Why on Earth would I do that?  Another bottle of wine?  I think we will.  Dessert?  Yes, please.

Why should I care at this point, anyway?

These past few months have been a bit of a roller-coaster ride for me.  I lost focus on my training.  I can blame it on a lot of personal struggles – the laundry list of excuses are all there.  But that’s all they are is excuses.  Because running doesn’t care if you just went through a divorce.  Running doesn’t care if you’ve moved into a new home or if you’re adjusting to life as a single father.  Running only knows running – and if you’re not training properly for a big race such as a marathon, then running is going to get its revenge.
