The House Burnt Down

I feel like I was in the proces of building a home, and the night before we moved in it burnt down...I haven't ran for 5 weeks, my marathon that I had trained for and was READY for is next week....I wont be participating, and it makes me so mad!

When I started this 'running' thing, I never knew the obstacles that would get in my way.

Yeah it was hard conditioning my body, but then my body started falling apart and I seemed to be more sick than I ever remember. I had so many obstacles and issues, I could have never imagined that I'd get such a serious injury, one that would make it impossible to continue and finish what I started.

Since I'm new to this, not sure how it will be once I can run again. Will it be like I'm starting all over? Will a mile feel like 10? I almost now can't believe that I was running up to 20 miles at a time...just 5 short weeks ago. I was in such a groove with running, my body woke itself up each day at 5am to go for a run. I was on running auto-pilot, and looking back, I loved it...
