Thanks, Terrell - yeah you get it. That's exactly it. "Not inhabiting my body fully" is a great way to put it. I've spent my life focused on other things. Now I'm trying to focus at least some of my attention on my body - working out, lifting, running. And I never thought I'd be a person who enjoys that, but it turns out I am.

The half marathon I'm doing is part of the BMW Dallas Marathon Festival. I suppose, if that goes well, I might opt to run the full marathon there the following year. But I don't know - I don't know anything about marathons in my area (I'm in central Texas). And I supposed I could travel somewhere - I'm such an amateur at this that I haven't thought beyond "I might do that."
My daughter has run the half at the BMW Dallas Festival and asked if I'd join her this year - so that's partly why I'm excited to do that one - to do it with her! I don't know if she'd ever try a full marathon, but maybe if she did, we could do it together.
