Chicago Marathon 2007 Training: Week 17

This week ended up being an easy one with just 20 miles.

I’m still struggling with my running and I seem to be running less and less now.  I decided to go see a doctor and get a blood test done just to ensure that there isn’t something wrong. That appointment isn’t for another 2 weeks though.

I’m seriously starting to think about abandoning the Chicago Marathon.  I had to prepay about $800 for the hotel and if I cancel before September 11, I can get a full refund.  I’ll wait and see what the results of my blood test are before making a decision, but my confidence in finishing the marathon is at all time low right now.
