This and That

Not that anyone ever reads this thing, but it's nice to vent and talk out loud, or talk cyberlly... whatever, you know what I mean.

So, only a few more weeks until I have marathon #2 under my belt. This go round has truly made me realize that the full is totally boring. By mile 14/15 I'm bored... I can't think of anything else to think of to keep my mind off what I'm actually doing. I'm hoping for a good run in a few weeks, so I can settle down to mastering the half marathon (13.1 miles). I can actually run a full half and feel pretty good when I'm done.

I mean, running is supposed to fun. After finishing 18 miles on Saturday, I was not having fun. I could barely walk up my stairs, I have to go sit for 20 minutes in a tub full of cold water and ice cubes. Explain to me where that is fun??? However, the idea of completing a marathon, not to mention 2, is a concept that's still hard to grasp. The sense of achievement alone is pretty cool. That will be hard to let go, however, I look forward to having my Friday evenings back and being able to sleep later than 5:00am on a Saturday morning.

Sorry for the rambling, just some thoughts after my run on Saturday!
