Dammit...you fools! I am thisclose to saying "F it" and registering. Someone please knock some sense into me.

I'm working on her! So are you planning on half or full? The best part of this is that we can do training runs together with the same end race in mind.

Wait...*confused* is Joni planning on the full, then?

So none of you gals would run the full with me...? *feels so alone in the world*

Isn't it harder to train for a full during the winter? That's part of my hang up. Don't know if I would be ready. Was going to wait to do full in GR next fall.

I would say yes and no. I plugged Higdon's Int. 2 training plan into my calendar and realized that I'd actually be doing lower mileage for Jan. than I had planned just running regular non-marathon training runs. And the advantage is that those long 20 milers will be in the Spring...when it's still cool, but not cold. And not HOT, like training for a Fall marathon during the Summer months. I think you are smart to wait to do the full at GR, though. I don't think it's possible to wait too long to do one's first marathon, but a lot of people rush into it before their bodies are ready and that can be recipe for serious injury. Sometimes I wonder if I even did it too fast...or at least if I should have bailed when my knee issues first arose.

How can I not do it, now?! This is gonna be like a mobile MI party! I hope someone brings some threads we can jack!

Heh, I'm sort of waiting a few days for the credit card to catch its breath.

Full...when I register. My dumb right knee has me paranoid, though.
