Yesterday Jason had to do a very hard thing, something that every runner has to do at some point in their career.
It's not pretty.
It's not a happy moment.
The drop.
Dropping out of a race before you finish.
In Jason's case he stopped at mile 32 of a 62 mile mountain run. Most people, myself included, would find running 32 miles quite absurd.
So ain't nothing wrong with that.
I say there's no shame in it.
It means you know your body. It means you know your limits. And it probably means, and in Jason's case definitely means that a great running season preceded the drop, and it was time to call it a day.
Quitting while you're ahead: the greatest underrated intelligent decision.
