For the record I think a half marathon is a great distance. not short but not ridiculously long.

I have no idea how these Ultra guys do it. I know a guy who ran a 100 mile race last summer and I think it took him close to 18 hours, that's nuts.
Oh man, you're right about achieving and having goals instantly change. It's funny what happens when you blow away your own expectations. Powerful stuff for sure.
