We quit! The marathon, that is. We moved to the half marathon because we have diagnosed ourselves as "not even close to being ready to run a marathon".
We went for a 13 mile walk sometime ago, a week ago I think. It wasn't all that bad, took us 5 hours and left me with a nasty blister on my toe. But, the fact that it took a lot out of us just to walk for 5 hours is a good indication that we would not have been able to run for 5 hours.
Now that were are running the half, we feel much better. We know we can go 13.1 miles because we've done it before. We are going to try to beat our previous time. It took us 2:45 in May, we want to finish in 2:30 next week.

It was the right decision, and I'm sure it was tough. Regardless, keep your heads up and keep making progress!
