This is not a good idea

Well, my loyal readers, the Great Wiki Karmel is awesome at so many things. I could list all of my virtues, but I don't think the internet is big enough. One thing I am not, however, is patient. Which is why I will never be a teacher.

However, there are certain things I should be patient with. And my training is one of them. Which is why this is a terrible idea: I'm running a marathon in June.

I'll let that sink in for a minute.

The Great Wiki Karmel has laid out an impressive training program on this very website a couple times. This training program will get me ready to run a marathon sometime this fall. Why, then am I running one this spring? Well, I'm not going to run the whole thing. Around the beginning of June, my long runs will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 13 miles, or a half marathon. I'll run the first half of the marathon and then walk/lightly jog the second half. That will allow me to see my half marathon splits but still give me the experience of the marathon and an appreciation of the distance.

Also, the marathon is in South Bend, IN, home of the official parents (and Grandma) of the Great Wiki Karmel.
