I think I have finally gotten to the point where running a marathon is routine. I’ve been doing a marathon basically every week this year (the only exceptions have been weeks where the weather just hasn’t allowed it, like those -30 degree nonsense weeks we had back in January) and they no longer feel that much more difficult than my regular 18-mile runs.

And that was one of my goals this year – to make that distance a “routine” distance – and now it is.

So that’s cool I guess.
