What marathon looks like when you stop optimizing everything from a family dinner

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Running feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

I disagree a bit. family matters, but the bigger issue is usually expectations. My only addition is to make the first step visible. The follow-through matters more than the perfect plan.

Fair point, but I had the opposite experience. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me. The follow-through matters more than the perfect plan.
