Day 2,604 —Feeling good this morning— with a PICTURE of MARY

I was surprised I ended up doing five miles, but I went slow, and it was cool and nice. Still thinking about the race and what really stopped me, and it seems like it was really the mental thing. I wonder how long it would have taken me to catch another wind had I kept going. Maybe, I should have asked people to talk me out of quitting. Maybe that could be a strategy that I call people and ask them to tell me not to quit. 

There is nothing I can do about it now except learn and move on. And so, I decided to sign up for the Tunnel Hill 100! It is November, so still have some time to train for it. I am going to take what I learned in this race and use it to train for that race. No regrets.
