What a tough decision you had to make. But as Sweder said, you probably feel like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders. You can't run a marathon unless your heart and soul are in it - it takes too much out of you with all the training and stuff. To me, it became my life. And if you're having doubts, it just isn't fun.

I've given myself this year to just enjoy and run half marathons - which as you say are so much more easier to do. You can actually enjoy the training and the races! So stick with that until you feel the 'itch' again - and it will happen!

On a happier (?) note - maybe we'll both be running London next year? I plan on trying to get in again and who knows? We could be doing our training 'kind of' together. Until then, we can enjoy the halfs and be happy with our running - we are running after all.
