I'm still plugging along with the marathon training, despite hating it. I really tried to start my long run off this week with a good attitude. And I think I did pretty well, for about the first half of the run. I had a friend in town that texted me just after the 9 mile marker and I exclaimed that I only had 10 miles left. I was still doing well at that point, but it slipped quickly downhill from there.
I've come to realize that I think I'll be able to make it through the physical aspect of a marathon--it will be painful, but I think I can do it. I'm having a hard time figuring out how I'm going to mentally get through it. Boredom is killing me. Almost 4 hours of running, by myself, in a loop, is really really hard for me. I'm sure I need a new route, but I need something else...just not sure what it is.
