Snort. Do a bunch of half marathons, maybe a 30K and then one day just say what the heck and do it. Figure out yer water, electrolytes and snacks- and what yer butt needs to make it through the hours. Epic movies help.
Excellent advise. Thank you.

Yes! And I didn’t mean to make light of your marathon goal- not sure if you have completed one before ! Sometimes we let all kinds of goals become BIGGER in our minds and question the process that has created success for ourselves previously. Danwho’s shared article was spot on for how we can think - hey I could do this and we do ! Throughout the years of stats reporting, I’ve watched teammates approach a marathon in a few ways….and while there are a few surprising ones, most work up to the half marathon steadily and then do a few leaps into the high 20K and maybe a low 30K…then they just go for it. It’s such a rush to accomplish a big goal, and it’s particularly gratifying to get kudos from teammates who know well what it took for you to accomplish the goal!

Oh, no worries at all. I took your comment in the spirit that it was intended and with good will. It’s been a very long time since I completed a marathon. It really isn’t for the faint of heart, is it?

And yes, having others to encourage, motivate, and keep us accountable is incredibly helpful - a sort of Rowers Anonymous, I suppose.
