So grateful for Pizza Monday!  2 miles on the treadmill and 2 pieces of pizza.  And I think to myself, "What a wonderful world."

Okay, it's decision time.  Moab is about four weeks away and I have done a total of 6 walking miles in 2 weeks.  I'm not going to run Moab.  I'm still going to Moab and I'm definitely still getting my shirt and hat (I didn't pay $50 for a 5 mile race not to get any souvenirs).  It's just that, while everybody else is getting up early and standing in the cold and running a race, I'll be sleeping in and eating ginger pancakes with apple butter at the Jailhouse Cafe.  I'm really trying to see the downside of this decision.  I'm pretty disappointed in myself, but I think it's the right thing to do.  If I had gotten pregnant one month earlier, I probably would have had enough time to recover from the first trimester fatigue a little and at least walk the 5 miler, but I drag my feet doing 2 miles on the treadmill right now and I don't see it getting anywhere near 5 in the next month.  So, disappointing, yes, but at least there are pancakes to be had.
