Baltimore Half on Saturday

[wvjules]

and pretty darn sure I have strep throat. Should I cut my losses and skip it or depending on how I feel should I do it anyway?

Heading to dr. now. Will update if I have strep or not when I get back.

Wondering what did the doctor say? I think if you are not contagious would be the thing most to consider, of cousre AFTER how you are feeling. I know many who have done an event not feeling well who started and seeing how it went ready to end if needed, maybe going slower and completed the event as well as some who have tried and not been able to finish.

Guess this is no help, but wonder how you feel and what your doc said.

Doc said I have/had strep and could do the race depending on how I felt. Whelp, when I woke up Saturday morning, there's now way I was going to be able to run, jog, walk, or crawl 13.1 miles. So I missed the race.

I did pick up my packet Friday night just in case I was able to do it. Now I have a shirt from the a race that I didn't complete. Suggestions on what to do with it?

I've either worn mine under sweatshirts, or used it for training runs when I know I'm not going to see a whole lot of people! And as time passes, I'm less worried about wearing it.

Sorry you missed the race, but I think you did the right thing! Hope you're feeling better now.
