I'm sorry you are so worn down. Seems like the end of summer always gets this way. Injuries, exhaustion, etc. I hope running PC will be a good experience for you. I'm just getting ready for Hobble Creek and have for the first time in a long time, run more than 15 on a Saturday. I don't know how you do it! Be strong, good idea to rest up.

I'm just deciding 2009 is an off year for racing for me - LOL. I plan to survive Park City and TOU (and may do a lot of walking in both) in order to hopefully PR in St. George and maybe do a 50 miler two weeks after that.

Next year is going to be more a 'rebuilding year' and I am not going to sign up for as many marathons (of course, you can't hold me to that).

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Please take the rest of the week off. Enjoy the scenery on Sat. Can't wait to see you!
