Decisions!!

I've been thinking and trying to decide just what I am going to do.  I did another good run on the weekend.  Almost 18km in preparation for the Wanganui half marathon on Saturday morning.  Felt great, felt inspiring.  BUT ... do I really want to do Wanganui in 5 weeks time?  I know I will be ready but there are so many factors in me saying just leave it for this year.  I've been looking at those pros and cons and this time around the cons certainly out way the pros.  The only reason I'm thinking of doing it is because I haven't met my last goal for this year.  To do a half in under 2 hours.  But is this a big enough reason when it is already such a busy time of the year?  I still have next year and there will still be half marathons available.  Maybe I am better off to say, I'm just going to keep running for me for now and the events can wait until the new year.  Reading the blog of someone who really inspires me I know that saying no this time around is not giving in or giving up, its just doing what seems right at the moment.  Thank you Alison for your great blog (you can read it here) and for helping me to understand to look after me!
