That's what I keep telling myself.
It's all about having fun.
I surf through pages and pages of January half marathons.
Do I really want to go back to California again?
Wouldn't somewhere else be more fun? Some place you haven't done a race?
Well....actually, some place relatively flat....or maybe just above sea level would be nice. CA really fits the bill. Besides I can visit friends.
There's Arizona, Las Vegas, Austin, Miami, Jacksonville.
Then there's Big Sur, but that's May 1st. And that's a FULL marathon.
Well, maybe a full marathon isn't so bad.
Maybe I give the marathon a bad rap.
But really....can running 26.2 miles honestly be fun?
hmmmmm
Ok, I'm not making any promises, but let's just look at the profiles and elevations.
Now, close your eyes. Imagine getting to the 13.1 mile marker. You know you have to go another 13.1 miles.
It IS just another 13.1 miles.
What if you actually TRAINED for a marathon.
WOAH.....now you're talking crazy. You're saying I'm supposed to TRAIN to run 26.2 miles?
Well, I guess it would make the race a little more pleasurable. I mean, I really don't have any desire to hit any time goals....although, a faster finish is more desirable than say a later finish.
hmmm
And there is that $100 bet on the table.
