From Half to Full?

Nah, I'm not talking about a glass half empty. I'm talking about going from a half to a full marathon. In truth, I'm not even doing a whole lot of talking about it. I'm more just thinking; mulling it over. Because talking about it is almost like committing to it, you know?

When you tell someone, "Hey, I've been thinking about running a marathon," the next thing you know, you're expected to do it, and when you see them again, they'll be like, "How'd you do in that marathon?" And if you didn't actually run 26.2 miles, you'd be like, "Well, I decided I'd only do a half instead."

Only?

Most people won't walk a mile, let alone run one. And I'm not about to start making myself feel inadequate about completing a 13-miler. A half marathon an achievement — a major accomplishment!

OK, so maybe I'm over-thinking this whole half-to-full thing. But, like I said, I am thinking about it.

Next time I see you, I'll let you know how I did.
