Advice

Remember this post?  Maybe you do, since it was only two blog posts ago.  But then again, it was over a month ago.

I went for a run outside this past Saturday and looked at the timer on my watch.  It still read 51:14.  Do you remember what that time was?  It was from my last race, as mentioned above.  I hadn't run outside in over a month.  That's pathetic.

So now I'm trying to plan my next race.  I'm seriously considering the Denver Rock & Roll Marathon:  seriously considering whether I want to do another full marathon or just the half.  But remember that I hadn't run outside in over a month, which really means that I haven't run over 3 miles at a time in over a month.  Lazy pants= me. (And I will surely be out of shape for the Bix @ six run next week!)

Thoughts on whether I should do another full or a half?  I won't have Jake with me this time for training, but he could always ride his bike while I ran?  I also have a friend running the full and a friend running the half.

What do you think??  Should I be crazy yet again??

My vote is for the 1/2. The time it takes to train for a full marathon is a little bit ridiculous. I'll still ride my bike alongside you, though.

I think I'm going to stick with 1/2s and shorter now because of the wear and tear of training for a full (and the time factor too). I felt really good after our marathon, but I've heard it can take a toll eventually. But, since running is addictive, I can totally understand the pull towards trying another full marathon. I already think about doing another one, but I think I'm going to do 1/2s. So I guess my vote would be half too.
