It's hot here too and I can't run in it either. I try to go early in the morning before it gets too hot. I'm not a hot weather runner and it's hard for me. For that reason I look forward to September when Autumn is waiting around the corner :) Take it easy on your hip. Don't overdo it. I think you’ve made a smart decision by not racing on Sunday.

If you push it, you might not race all year. Get the hip better. And take it from me...you know, the girl who didn't take her own advice, pushed it and then didn't run for 10 weeks!

I am struggling with my running also due to a knee injury. I crashed my bike about 6 weeks ago, flipping over my bike and landing on my left knee on the concrete. I thought it would go away in time but I am still having trouble with it and when I bend it hard my knee burns. My doctor friend tells me that burning is usually a sign of nerve damage so I resolved finally to go to the doctor and set up that appointment to get it checked out. My first full marathon is in about 94 days. I am struggling even now and trying to deal with the thought of training for this marathon when I am not at 100%. It is hard enough even without an injury! When I think of throwing in the towel I feel like everyone will see me as a failure. Yet when I read your post, I was thinking "Wow, she is smart to know when to stop" - so I need to get my mind in that area just as you have. Thank you for sharing this. I admire this post so much.

It DOES matter how you get to the end and being fit means not taking dumb chances with your body. The process is the important thing with the end goal in sight of course. Be proud of all the effort....feel better Hey,
