I've been trying very hard over the last few weeks to try to get myself up to a 25-30 mile week, but it's just been too difficult. Between work and spending time with the family, I'm unable to find a minimum of 1.5 hours a day to dedicate to training (minimum days are 5 miles).
And so I have decided to abandon my efforts for running in the Valley Harvest marathon in October.
With the Valley Harvest off the table, that leaves next year's Bluenose as the next race. Olivia will be much older and a little less needy by January, so finding the time to dedicate to training should be much easier. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess.
Of course, I don't want to start from scratch again come January, so I'm going to try to get in 3-5 miles as often as I can - 12 miles a week would be great, but I'll just have to wait and see how that plays out.
