So I've been thinking about training for a full marathon. With five, and hopefully soon to be six half-marathons in my running repertoire, I'm thinking that a full marathon might just be within reach. Of course it will require training, and a lot of it! I found a 30-week training schedule and am strongly considering giving this a try. Can I really do 26.2? What is my motivation for even considering it? Am I nuts? (If you know me, you already have formed an opinion about this.) Perhaps it's the fact that the half-marathon has become such a popular distance and so many people have achieved this goal. I suppose it might make more sense to improve my tortoise-like speed instead of tackling a race that is twice as long as any run I have ever completed. But....then again..... a girl's gotta have dreams!
