This was a nice week. Enjoyed the half marathon very much. Will definitely do that again! Now I need to set some new future achievement goals.
I've been playing Diablo 3 lately. That is pretty fun. Been enjoying playing that with my online friend Ben.
Still doing some Halo with friends some nights. It's been good. I enjoy the friendships there, even though I'm a bit tired of the game. I only play these days at all because I like the people.
Hmmm.... The Columbus Full Marathon, 2014. To train for it or not. That is the question. I don't know, man. That's a tough one. It is my dream BUT... 26.2 miles is a LONG FREAKIN WAY to run!
I must give this some more thought.

Well, you don't know if you can do a marathon distance until you try.
And once you do a marathon, training up for a half is "no big deal", which is a form of mental illness, to be frank.
If the full is 6+ months away, I say register and train to 20-22 miles on 2-3 long runs a few weeks out. The exuberance of the event should be enough to carry you through the marathon.
Take your half marathon mile splits and add 15-30 seconds on and that is your marathon pace, or at least your training pace, to start with.

I've run six marathons:
Disney Half + Full Marathons ("The Goofy") twice, Myrtle Beach Marathon, Ridge to Bridge (North Carolina), Portland (Maine) Marathon, failed the Chicago (curses!!) Marathon and most recently completed the New Orleans Marathon.
I'm running an ultra 50K trail this weekend in North Carolina which should be interesting.

Wow man that is great! Awesome achievements (the real life kind!). I admire that.
Ultra Marathons? Man, those are really hardcore. Good luck on that one! I would be very curious to hear back on how that went.
