What next?

I haven't been running much. And by much I mean only 3 times since the marathon. I am finally feeling more like my normal self. No more pain, literally, in the glutes. Last time I ran I managed 3 miles, granted I went faster than my normal pace so maybe that's why I was so winded, and it felt really hard.

For the first time I actually thought to myself,"maybe I don't want to do any more marathons," and I felt okay with that. I am a person who loves goals, needs challenges and projects to work on. If I don't have them, I'm lost.

So, now I am sitting here thinking: what next? Do I sign up for the half marathon in Chicago in August? Do I wait for the half marathon in November in San Antonion? Do I do more after those? Or do I move on?

I've been biking at home on my recumbent stationary (stationery) bike. It's a workout in itself. I've scaled back on the crap I was eating and managed to keep my weight down. I don't love biking, it's not the next thing for me. Neither is a triathlon, I hate swimming because I'm not good at it.

So, what do you think? What's next?
