Didn't do the PEI Marathon

So many people asked me if i was doing the PEI Marathon that I was becoming a bit defensive about it. The truth is I did someting like 15 triathlons and multisport races this summer and felt that was enough. i have run the full PEI Marathon twice and done the half-marathon several times. I have already run several half marathons this year and didn't really see much point in doing another one; also, the half marathon course is the course i do most of my long training on so I am a bit sick of it.I think this is a big event for a lot of people who make it their one event of the year. The truth be told, as well, I don't really like running full marathons. I have done 5 marathons and three of them were in Ironman triathlons and I enjoyed them more than just running a marathon. So, otherwise, this past week, I ran a couple of times; did hot yoga three times, swam twice and did 2 spin classes. My swimming is getting stronger because i am doing the UPEI swim club training; my running feels a bit faster because I am more flexible from all the yoga I am doing and I haven't been cycling outside at all. I have been busy, been travelling and not that interested in cycling at the moment.
