life gets in the way

I had to pull my entry to the Autumn Leaves 50 miler.

:*(

But I've got a family, and that family has taken up sport in the past six months, and all of their sporting events fell smack dab in the middle of the race.  I'm a mom first, runner second.

I know there will be other 50 mile races to run.  Well, survive, anyways!

    I know how you feel. Soccer falls right in the middle of fall racing season. Plus, work gets crazy for me. 50 miles is A LOT of training. It's so hard to do it as a mom! Turn that frown upside down! There'll be another! :)

    I understand you perfectly, I dont have children, but having a 8 hours job + 1 hour 4 lunch (spanish thing) + 1h30' on transport to go and come back evryday from mon-fri, and a lovely girlfriend ... and a dream to become an Ironman in 2013 ... sometimes I dont know really what Im doing.

    Anyway, there is only one family and many races :)

    Oh man, that stinks, but I get how being a mom comes first. This is why I'm trying to run a lot before I have kids old enough to play sports! :)
