Marathon tomorrow

Just contemplating tomorrow's marathon.

Committing to an event like this can really teach you some things about yourself.

I'm realizing now what I signed up for -- and how it's not just another thing to get out of the way, but a true experience.

I haven't considered until now just what an experience this is and I wish I had looked at the preparation as part of the overall achievement/success/experience.

It's the discipline that's required/involved to be ready that makes you become more than you are, the completion is just that wonderfully tangible reward for your diligence and good effort put forth.
