In 7 years, we have heard ONE excuse that is legitimate; death in the family. It is a painful and debilitating event in every one's life.
One hot Tuesday night in the summer years ago on the Emory Track, John Roberts ( Local Hero) was uncharacteristically run down in the final 300 meters of the 1500 at the ATC All Comers Meet. At the finish line his excuse was "Man, I just didn't have it. I lost my Dad last night." This same dude had lost his Wife to cancer 6 months earlier.
Runners always return to running when the chips are down. Running and exercise are The Way Out of life's troubles for the avid runner. When all else fails, RUN.
