I am scheduled to run in June with a friend a local 5 K. It's free from what we understand. Then Run again with same friend in July in a town we'll both be at for a family trip (that's the plan anyway). But I'm looking for a half marathon...
Well, I've been online looking for a run that I'm willing to pay money for. It's hard to find one that's not on a Sunday. I couldn't find a half marathon in my state not on a Sunday and not next month! But I did find a full 26 mile marathon. So I am seriously thinking about it. There's a cut off time of 7 hours though. As I have no idea how long I would take for that ... I mean seriously would it take me longer than 14 minutes a mile? At 14 minutes per mile it would take 6.20 hours. Obviously I'm not looking to win anything - just finish.
So I am thinking about it. Seriously thinking. I dunno if I'm ready for a full 26. whatever miles though. I've got my training schedule right here if I decide to go for it... hmmmm.
Thoughts?

Its hard to say. I'm sure that you will have feelings one way or the other as the time for the full marathon gets closer. Its a bummer that there aren't a lot of choices around here!
