Where the heck have you been?

For my 8 readers, it's been a while. Last I left you I was recovering from the Houston Half Marathon. I could give you a long run down of what all's gone on there but basically I can put it down to a few bullet points.

• I got sick, couldn't run.
• I better, ran a little.
• I got sick again, finally went to the doctor, felt better, lost momentum running.
• Got well, started retraining.
• Got ready to run the 25K.
• Named deacon same morning as 25K.
• Trained more, got up to 15 miles one run.
• Started pulling up lame in runs.
• Found out what an "IT Band" is.
• Switched to 1/2 marathon instead of Full Marathon in January.
• Had some thoughts about switching.
• Found out IT Band injury isn't that bad actually.

Now I'm kind of at an impass. I have until the 19th to decide if I want to switch back to the full marathon. I need and want to do this marathon, but I won't lie, I'm not there physically yet. I'll have six weeks until the marathon if I decide to do that run.

What should I do? I could so use some help here.
