Marginal gut-check

I put a freeze on the marginaltriathlete for a few weeks. Why? Because my marginal activities were crossing the margins and getting in the way of the things that are really important. Like family. Like spirituality. Like school.

I have taken a few weeks to give myself a 'marginal' gut-check and have decided that now is not a great time to train for the Flying Pig Marathon so I'm pulling the plug. I know. I know. Never give up! You can do it! Frankly, if I did do it, I would nail it. I'm running faster than I ever have and feeling great on long runs. But other things are suffering so its not worth it.

Plus, for religious reasons I don't like to race on Sundays and the Pig was on a Sunday so that also made it an easy choice. But that is a topic for another post.

So I'm sticking to a few short races this season. I'll be graduating this year, moving and starting a new job so a few Sprints and an Olympic race is what I'll probably the best choice even though, left to my vices, I'd love to do more.
