Notes I'm still sick and it doesn't feel like this is going to resolve anytime soon.

The Ogden Marathon is this Saturday and due to my overall fitness and continuing illness, I highly doubt I'll make the starting line.

I was informed by email yesterday that my 5-year string of St. George marathons has ended as I was not selected in the lottery.

Although my overall fitness is not dissimilar to where I was 5 years ago, my brain is unwilling to accept the magnitude of the regression. It makes training a bigger challenge than it should be.

Where to go from here ...?
