Well I have bad news. I have just changed my marathon to a half marathon. Am I disappointed? Embarrassed? Sad? YES. But I have thought about it and decided this will be a more realistic goal. I have only been running for a year, and last year didn't get too serious. I need to learn more, and get more kms under my belt before attempting a marathon. I would love to still do it, but decided I would be happier going into a half marathon confidently, and a marathon when I feel I have trained enough and am more ready.
I want to attempt a full marathon later in the year, but I already have too many races this year. I will probably just wait till next year. Here's to my half marathon! Now I can focus on increasing my pace and other factors, as well. 54 more days!
Don't ever feel embarrassed for deciding to put your sanity and health first! You are going to be amazing!
