I've been thinking about it for the last week or so. I am in a little bit of a rut with life (nothing major, just treadmill of life with 2 small kids and a freelance career that is a holding thing while I decide what I actually want to do) and need to challenge myself. An acquaintance has bitten the bullet and signed up so I decided this morning I was going to as well. Went out with my running group and one of the girls there, without me even voicing my thoughts, said I should think about doing a marathon as I have lots of stamina and am a really steady runner so might suit it. I took it as a sign, came home and signed up for Brighton next April!
So I have a year. But I'm not telling anybody yet. I tend to not get very far with challenges, so want to get myself well on the way before anyone notices. I am signed up for a 10k in 5 weeks time (I've done a 10k 3 times before but never gone further) and was then going to train for a half in Sept and then start the marathon training after that.
It's a big leap for me. Always said "never" when the subject of a half came up, let alone a marathon. So I'm not going to tell anyone in real life, not even DH, until I'm feeling a bit more confident about it. Needed to tell someone though so came on here!
Anyone got any advice?
