Words can not describe the disappointment that came rushing over me as I read the official cancellation of the MetroPCS Dallas Marathon. It is hard to process that after sixteen plus weeks of training for one race (one huge, massive giant race) that it won't be happening. Like that, in one blink of an eye, the race day I have been anxiously anticipating is gone. Let's add to it the fact that it is totally and completely out of my control (I might have trouble with needing to control many things in life). I will be honest, I am deeply disappointed. I have shed many tears (currently crying as I type this) and will shed many more I believe. I know that it is for the safety of myself and all the other runners but that doesn't ease the disappointment. I am totally blessed for being surrounded by supportive and comforting friends (thank goodness for our snow day slumber party). I cannot get my emotions under control for few minutes at a time right now before I lose it again. Therefore, if ignore your call/text I am so sorry I just can't handle it yet. Yes, I will still run a marathon, when that will happen I am not sure. I don't believe they will postpone the MetroPCS Marathon. I will begin looking into other marathons in the near near future to register for and run. With that being said, training will then drag out longer than just sixteen weeks (makes me want to cry more).
Thankful for Ashley, Katie and Celina for sitting by me while I cry and try to process what just happened. So much thanks to everyone for the support and kind words during this very disappointing time. I appreciate all the care and concern. I hate that I am unable to respond right away to the sweet messages. I will slowly start responding to messages and calls as time passes.
