I give up. That's what I said twice during my run this morning. I made it 2.3 miles and had intense knee pain so I stopped and walked it off. I figured I could try running again and see how far I could go for the 2nd round. I ran 2 steps and stopped. I walked almost a mile home, pain free, just couldn't jog. I came to the decision to sell my race entry. I even emailed a friend about it. Then, I researched a bit and realized my entry is non-transferable. I can only switch to a later event (for a fee, of course). I believe my struggle is so hard right now because time is passing and the race is less than 12 weeks away. I suppose I shouldn't look at the calendar, but on the other hand, how can I properly train in time? At least I am still able to get in good cardio exercise - which is why I started running. I will still be able to run 5K's, even if the half marathon doesn't work out.
