I have a dilemna...
I have a place in this year's FLM. I applied every year, and last year I got a place, but had to defer due to a snowboarding injury. The injury hasn't healed as quickly as I'd hoped (damn not being 21 anymore!) and I've not been at full fitness at any point in my training so far.
I'm finding training hard, I'm behind in my schedule and my heart's just not in it.
I love running - when I'm fit, I'm not fast, but can consistently put in 1hr 50min half-marathons. I'd rather be fit and enjoy myself, than kill myself - mentally and physically - doing a marathon I probably won't enjoy, and might even put me off running for good.
FLM's a chance in a lifetime though - I'm seriously stuck on this one: what do I do?
