It occurred to me yesterday as Paula and I were traversing a quick, 25-minute loop at a good clip, that perhaps I should run a fall marathon next year.

Just like that, I think, "Hey, maybe I should run a fall marathon," and all of a sudden I'm googling options and planning the training.  And why not make it a trail marathon?  Yeah, how about a fall trail marathon in Minnesota or Wisconsin?  With beautiful fall colors?

Never mind that I haven't run more than 7 miles at once since, like, last fall.  Whatever.  Maybe I should start training for a marathon right away!  Let's do this!  Or not.  I'm not sure.
