I am disappointed, especially since I’ve been training for the past three months, but at the same time, I know that there’s more glory in not finishing than there is in not starting.  I can’t say I didn’t try.

In all this bad news though, I am still well on track to participate in this year’s Chip’s Not Dead Yet Memorial Mile (which although timed, is more of a party than a race).  The idea is to celebrate the fact that we’re alive, and make use of our lives while we still have them.  We’re not dead yet!
