Skipped Recent Running Races Because of Rain and Health

I had been planning on running either in last week's Ocala Half-Marathon or today's Newnan's Lake 15K (held on Gainesville's east side)...turns out I skipped them both.  Last Sunday morning it was raining, and I did not want to be running that distance on slippery backroads with puddles concealing holes in the pavement...the falling rain itself wouldn't have bothered me.  And with today, I have been feeling under the weather for a few days and just didn't see the point in taxing my body for a 9.3 mile run...too bad, the weather this morning was beautiful, perfect for running.  The last time I ran a 15K, back in early December, I had a painful recovery...I have to look at this running of mine with a mind on my overall health.  Still, there are more events to come and I can always opt for the free 5K race at Gainesville's Depot Park on Saturday mornings after I'm feeling better.  In the meantime I'm taking it easy...
