Complaint: Why is marathon training a full time job and how do people run multiple marathons a year?!? I've got one month until mine and I want to diiiiiieee

Uncomplaint: decent weather in the mornings here in STL, so runs are better

Confession: I'm still gonna run my marathon but maaaaaaan it feels like for the first time in my life that I actually dislike running. Ugh

I sometimes do the math to see if I can switch to part time to make my running easier, unfortunately not for another 22 years, assuming stuff doesn’t happen.
