I am certain that doing the Marine Corps Marathon would be a fabulous day. You’d be around thousands of people making their dreams happen, and participating in an event that matters to many who volunteered to serve your republic.

OTOH, if you aren’t having fun with your hobby – that may be a pretty strong signal to make a change.

I know exactly how you feel. I go back and forth on why I like to do long endurance races. Now, running I love — at least the feeling when I’m done. But, running long (more than 10 miles) is something that I don’t care too much for. I also don’t care too much to bike long or swim long – but I’m doing IMWI 2009 and probably a few more after that. My feeling is that if I don’t keep those “long” endurance events on the schedule, I’ll fall into the “easy” workout phase and won’t feel the effects of my training.

During my training for my marathons and IronMan’s — I always tell myself that I’m done after this one(during one of those freaken long bikes/swims/runs). But the day after the event, I’m ready to start the process all again.

I’m just waiting for the day that I just don’t want to do it again — hopefully that doesn’t happen for awhile — but I know how you feel.

Have a nice day.
