Half or Full?

Half or Full? Well that's the magic question...

Having done my maiden marathon, there is always that temptation to do another marathon to improve on your pathetic timing... There is always that peer pressure that everyone else around me is doing full marathon...

So am I going to make the same mistake again?

But then, I know that I simply do not have the discipline to be training for a marathon... Last year was a good example, and I do not want a repeat of last year...

I am holding my decision making till this weekend after the 25k. I am trying something new. You know despite whatever I wrote on this blog, I still care too much about timing, I always look at my watch and try to calculate timing. I think it is all natural being a competitive runner in the past, but it is not practical anymore after so many injuries. It becomes very discouraging along the way when you know that you are running very slow.

So now, after a long break away, I want to enjoy my running again. I decided to heck care the gadgets. No watch, no mp3 players, whatsoever... I dun time my runs nowadays anymore, so this upcoming race is the first that I wouldn't be wearing my watch.

But as of now, I think chances are that I will go back to half this year... I learnt a valuable lesson last year, I learnt to respect the distance...

Well whatever distance I chose in the end, I shall make sure that I am well trained...
