I’m going to cut to the chase–I’m supposed to run/speed walk/craw/jog the Marine Corps Marathon in October. How I got here is not important. I take full responsibility for allowing my friend to register me. Although, I didn’t think she was going to be able to, since website for registration kept going down. I was feeling smug because I had done a triathlon sprint just a handful of months before.
With all of that said: I AM SO FUCKING FUCKED.

Reasons Why I Should Not Run a Marathon
- I took a long break from running
- Due to that long break, I suck at running.
- Running sucks.
- I’m a few weeks behind on my training plan.
- It’s hot and humid outside.
- I will die.
Reasons Why I Should Run a Marathon
- I bought new running shoes.
You can see my problem. I have FIVE more reasons why I SHOULDN’T do it versus the one that I should. How do I get out of this? Is it too late to back out? Do I suck it up, train as much as I can and drop out at mile 10? What is the etiquette here?
