Guess its just one of the sacrifices of being a parent.Christina @ AccomplishingMotherhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134979833223496412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076135369527094286.post-69808444757550447302010-04-19T08:12:25.745-07:002010-04-19T08:12:25.745-07:00It's tough.

Do I drive myself, then pay to park downtown and have to be driven back to the start line. There's just no good answer.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277582408044968365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076135369527094286.post-71536943451051996042010-04-18T21:13:59.814-07:002010-04-18T21:13:59.814-07:00I feel your pain..

We were getting ready to register for Philly Marathon, but after realizing how far it is and how expensive accommodations are getting, not to mention the baby sitting issue.. we are now thinking of skipping this one. No way I will drive 2.5 to almost 4hrs counting traffic after a marathon to be back to work the next day. Plus we still dunno if my parents will be able to stay with our daughter for two nights while we do the race. Knowing them, they will not let us know 'till the day before the race to let us know.Speedy828https://www.blogger.com/profile/17758090631786661714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076135369527094286.post-80191849042443627172010-04-18T19:22:31.612-07:002010-04-18T19:22:31.612-07:00haha loathe away mama, because I TOTALLY get it!! ...haha loathe away mama, because I TOTALLY get it!! When I was pregnant with my second baby, I was seeing red when anyone else would mention racing. So much so that I was almost in denial, I didn't even want to talk about it! I know that's not quite the same as having to back out of a race at the last minute, but I get the anger!<br /><br />Just like you said, 4 more weeks to get faster, better, stronger. Use that frustration to fuel your training. You WILL rock that race, and I promise you that you will blow my swim out of the water!!!Relentless Forward Commotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994114843561430941noreply@blogger.com
