Reality

It's time to face reality.

I foolishly believed that I can still train through the pain and run my first marathon in few weeks time. That was the thoughts I had when I was resting nursing the shin splint I had. 

After 3 weeks of doing no run, only walk, and some resistance training, I had my run this morning. I was careful and trying to take it slowly and doing run walk routine. The pulling pain at my lower leg started at about 3km. It was just a slow 5 min run with 1 min walk. I wanted to do at least 5KM but had to end the training earlier. 

I am feeling distressed that I have to pull out from the November race.
