However, I always get the feeling that doctors don't exactly know what is happening anyway.

A) Race a half marathon. B) Race a 5k. C) Drink. I have no idea what to expect at either event so the goal is simply to run my ass off as hard as that day's effort will allow and to have fun in the process, something I have earned after a long good season.

The half was three weeks out from Detroit and I decided the night before to just wait until spring to try to put a real dent in my time. Had it been four weeks out I probably would have done it.
Crap weather influenced my decision to not race either of the two 5k's I had penciled in and I am bumming about that but the speed work is back and coming along nicely in its stead.
