Lull of the Halfway Point

Imagine you’re about to run a marathon – a little more than twenty-six miles. You approach the starting line and you wonder what on earth you're doing there. How will you ever make it to the end? How painful will it be? You warm up your muscles and drink lots of water while your inner voice is screaming something like: You should have practiced more. You can't do this. Who do you think you are? Superwoman? No one in her right mind would try to run a full marathon. You’ll probably finish last if you finish at all. Avoid the humiliation and quit while you’re ahead.
