I have decided to quit the challenge and after 138 days it was a difficult decision for me. This is the first goal that I have given up on in a very long time - but the "have to" part of this is killing the love for running - I had stopped looking forward to my runs. In addition to that they needed to be so short so that I could recover for the next day - enjoy going 3-5 miles in a single run and I was averaging 10 miles a week on the challenge - more was too much for my legs without rest. So I actually will be running more now that I have dropped this. Also, I have but one time a day that I can exercise and I used to cross train with weights and riding a bicycle - I haven't been able to do the lifting and biking - I look forward to that.
I wish all of you the best of luck and I hope that you stay free from injury.
