Once I get to a reasonable weight and pace, I will probably sign up for a half marathon. I can see why people do full marathons. It's a bucket list thing. I don't judge people for setting up personal workout goals. It's a healthy thing to do. The actual marathon race is incredibly stressful on the body but it's not like normal people are running marathons every week.
i am probably one and done on marathons. I just don't know when ill have time for that much training until my toddler and unborn child are grown up.
i am happy to get 20 or so miles a week in right now. So just focused on making my 5k time faster and maybe run a half or two every year
I am not going to let myself forget how miserable i was for the last 8 miles

Same here. Maybe a little more mileage, but same plan. My goal is to increase my VO2. If I get faster in the process, then that's a bonus.

That's where I'm at. I've gotten 18 miles in 3 of the last 4 days. I don't really have the time since my child takes up all of our afternoons. The wife (no pics) and I will give each other a day in the week to workout. I can always use the jogging stroller, but that thing is miserable for both me and my child. At some point they'll be able to do more like go to one of our gyms in the child play area while we workout, so I'm looking forward to that.
Right now I know I can get a Wednesday afternoon run and a Thursday super early run which is a nice back to back period to knock out. I get home around 7am on Thursdays and have breakfast ready and the baby dressed up. At the end of the day, it's about finding a way to make time. I can easily run at 5 or 6am everyday, but I like watching late night TV/playing video games too much.
