The distance isn't really getting to me. I think it is the schedule and structure. I am so tired I don't feel like doing anything I don't run, which is only two days a week. It is pretty exhausting to run 5x a week. Last week I went mountain biking but yesterday I sat around the house, ran some errands. This is my first time ever doing a training schedule and I am not really enjoying the "run x amount on x day" part I guess.
DH says he felt the same way when he was a football player but the end result (for me completing the 1/2) was worth it and then I don't have to run if I don't want to.
