Every. Single. Time. This is why I like the Grand Prix series in NYC . . . there is no full option! :) Anyway, I agree that you should run what you love. I bet those marathoners and ultra-marathoners wouldn't be looking at you with disdain if they knew how much faster than them you can run a half (not to mention, a full)!Irish Creamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17548744329403082452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-11058089043716644342009-11-22T23:12:13.676-05:002009-11-22T23:12:13.676-05:00Funny.

I've never run a cold-weather half, so I'm curious to see whether my time will drop with the temps.<br /><br />Yes, you are crazy to feel inferior for running "just" the half. Be proud! :o) Looking forward to the Philly report.Maleciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06579698886387105781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-4942251808466927392009-11-22T16:19:45.146-05:002009-11-22T16:19:45.146-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Maleciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06579698886387105781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-65151848700127188042009-11-21T23:32:31.150-05:002009-11-21T23:32:31.150-05:00I try not to say I'm running "just the ha...I try not to say I'm running "just the half", but I'm "choosing to run the half."

Obviously it's so easy to do that, but it sounds like you're really okay with running the 1/2 and I think that's fantastic that you're doing it so close to the NYCM! I'm still in a walking cast after running it because I fractured my foot! I would be so excited just to run the 4M race tomorrow in the park! <br /><br />I too think that the half is the right distance for me, for many of the same reasons you mentioned. Hopefully next year I can run several throughout the year and would love to run Philly! <br /><br />Good luck and have a great time!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100196071084452143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-91754990313837972902009-11-21T08:58:01.859-05:002009-11-21T08:58:01.859-05:00i think half marathons are for me too but i defini...i think half marathons are for me too but i definitely feel everything you just described! <br /><br />good luck!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-66261065574071165492009-11-21T07:49:59.036-05:002009-11-21T07:49:59.036-05:00Yay for the 1/2 marathon!
