I’ve wanted to run a marathon for a while. Like, since I first decided to register for a half marathon. Unfortunately, I’ve been too afraid.
I remember when I finished my first 10K I thought to myself, “that wasn’t too bad; I think I could handle a half marathon.” Then when I finished my first half marathon I thought, “NOPE, definitely still can’t do a marathon.” But the problem with things like this (insanely challenging things) is that you probably won’t ever feel ready. So, two weeks ago, in a moment of extreme bravery, I registered for my first marathon.
The race isn’t until December, so I have plenty of time to train, and it’s local so I may have talked a friend into running it with me. Both good things. I’m still very nervous, but I’m looking forward to the challenge.
…and to how badass I’m sure I’ll feel at the end. 🙂
Good luck! I’m planning on my first full marathon this December as well!
Awesome! I hope it goes well! 🙂
YOU CAN DO IT! You can do a half…. and you can do a full. Check out my post after I ran my first marathon, just earlier this month. https://runningvibesblog.wordpress.com/2016/03/09/the-spirit-of-the-marathon/
Glad I “ran” across your blog! 🙂
Awesome! I love that tie-in. Although i feel way more prepared for the marathon of life. 🙂
Thanks for the encouragement!
