I’m a little sad about this but it doesn’t matter that much in the end. I’ll take the downtime as good rest for my legs before I do the Easter 100 next weekend. This is a 100km training run over 3 days. Friday 48km, Saturday 33km, Sunday 19km.
It is at times like this that I am so happy that I am a very dedicated runner that trains and runs more than the average that is required. It is when something happens and I have to miss some runs that this becomes important, because now it doesn’t matter that I miss a marathon or some long runs for a few days. I’ve done enough already.
Good luck to everyone racing this weekend! Boston time in the US and here in SA it is the Loskop 50km and the Slow Mag Marathon where many of my friends will be in action. Go strong everyone!

I agree no matter if you miss a run, you have already run a lot of races and a lot of miles.
All the best.
I hope you'll feel better soon!
I'm missing some runs too. I'm not running the Rome's 13 km race this Sunday because I've a sore throat.
Have a good rest, Johann! Take care!
you are wise to make this call my friend...i know it's a tough one to make. there will be plenty of other races...you just get better soon.
Definitely sounds like the smart decision. Especially considering your training volume, no sense going out sick and taking even longer to recover. Hope you get feeling better soon!

Get well soon Johann - you have plenty in the "training bank" to let a couple runs slip by!
Um, Johann, you forgot to say good luck to all of those people who are running the La Jolla Half Marathon on Sunday. :-)
Sorry you had to miss this race. What? you are now down to running only 51 races this year. Slacker.
