Abide- Wow you are doing a
Abide-
Wow you are doing a marathon in Jan and plan to "only" do halfs and you say you don't consider yourself a runner??????
I have been running for two years and am finally up to 8.5 miles. I am impressed by what you can do!
Yes, I do love it and do run about 4 or 5 days a week ( except for this past week because of a dorky cold ).
But, I am slowly working my way to do a 10 mile or maybe even a half next year sometime. Every extra mile I can do I consider an accomplishment.
Actually, now that I have discovered how great I feel BF I am really hopng to get more miles worked up when the weather breaks because I think I run better and easier that way.
So, Abide, you are a runner and I, for one, think what you have done is terrific.
Time is a big factor with doing distances and I think I can speak for most here that when folks work a full time job and have other commitments to family etc it is hard to make the time.
I am lucky in that I work per diem and when I do work 3 days a week I get off at 1300 so have a lot of daylight to get out there.
Give yourself a huge pat on the back, please!!!! You can do a marathon!!! WOW
