Once you finish the marathon, you may think that’s it but its really not.
After the aching has subsided, and your toes, blisters and back has recovered, you still will likely stay in this very positive mood and state of mind for around 3-4 months afterwards.
The marathon often gives you a thought process where you start to think that anything is possible.
Six months later, you may develop an urge to do a marathon again the year after the last one you did. This is not uncommon.
The shorter runs you get back into after a marathon are both a relief and make you think that maybe you are cheating yourself.
The lack of injuries and minor niggles are great, but somehow you get to miss the aches and pains of the ultimate challenge.
All of these thoughts and deliberations are likely to go through your head for a year or two after the marathon, after all you have accomplished so much by going through the marathon in the first place, and you have overcome so many obstacles, then maybe it is true that nothing really is impossible!
