Softball already?

Apparently, my softball team that just finished has signed up for a fall league. This leaves me with a problem--to play or not to play????

I really do not want to get injured playing softball. Right now running is my main focus from an 'extracurricular' standpoint, however I know how hard it was to get guys to play in the Spring. I think I am going to play, but let them know at the outset that my priority lies with my running. That isn't my final decision, but it's where I am leaning. I hate being 'on the fence guy' but I really don't want to fully commit to another softball season right now.



Let me re-state that 10 miles of running is far, and it really puts 26.2 into perspective as well. My legs were sore until this morning from my 10-miler on Sunday, and this is Wednesday. My 3 mile run on Monday (the day after my 10-miler) was more of a 'trail of tears' than a productive run, first time that my long run has resulted in "next-day soreness" during this training session. Hopefully the only time. I am running 3 miles today (Wednesday) and 6 Thursday, those runs hopefully go well.

October is fast approaching and my miles are rapidly increasing. This is my 7th week of training and I have not missed a run. (I have had to re-arrange my 'off-days', but I haven't totally skipped a run). I have enjoyed reading other running blogs and following their stories. I am looking forward to heading home to Detroit (Detroit What!) and getting this marathon done!
