Tortoise vs Hare: Halfway Through & Hard to Tell Who's Ahead

I've realized that I'm just about halfway through this experiment of blogging, and I feel like this realization should prompt some sort of reflection on my progress so far. What strikes me is that my 'progress', if there is any, is not apparent to me. Halfway points for me are most often points of feeling behind, points of thinking I should be so much further along than I am. Very rarely at any halfway mark do I feel I've actually covered half the distance I intend to. My gait tends to be one that picks up towards the end. Actually, making a mad rush at the end after letting myself fall horribly behind and feeling progressively more guilty about it but not doing anything it until it's intolerable and nearly too late to recover is probably the more accurate description. The fact that I've often been able to pull things off with a degree of aplomb while operating under this last-minute intensity has not aided my attempts to become more of the slow and steady type. No matter how many experiments I undertake, I fear I will always be much better at power sprinting than long distance running. Halfway through this particular race, I think the verdict is still out. Looking back, I suppose I am somewhat satisfied with what I've done up until now. Looking forward, I wonder if I'll make it to the end.
