When enough is enough....

3 miles on the schedule today.  This was enough.

-----------------

I often ask myself when enough is enough.  My usual answer is I have not reached that point.  My guess for this week is that the half that I have on Sunday is enough.  It's enough when I'm not looking forward to a race.  It's enough when my IT Band is tight even on short runs like today.  This week's race is enough.  Perhaps I'm just not in the mood.  Perhaps I don't like a tight IT Band(for the record, it's sore but not hurt)  Perhaps it's time for my first DNS or DNF.  I hope not.  I don't want it on my running record but when enough is enough I'm sure I'll know.
Remember this show growing up?
How do you know?

I received some exciting mail yesterday.  The Flying Pig marathon keeps on giving.  I found out a few days ago that I won a pair of socks from Socks Addict.  Yea!  They were at the expo.  I got to pick a pair of socks of anything I wanted.  I decided on Drymax's Hot weather running socks.  I figured they will come in handy this summer.  I can't wait to try them.  Of course, this will be when I don't think enough is enough.  Ha!





Have you ever won anything from a race expo? Do tell.







Have a great day and....Keep Running!!!!

    1. Nothing wrong with the 10k, it's just I'll go out too fast. Plus this race is where I train all year so I really want to see the 1/2 course.

    1. Absolutely! I will be at the start. I roll before every run and race. It makes a big difference.
