Stepping down to the half?

[joenali]

I was doing really well with my training for my marathon, and then a few things got in the way and haven't been able to get in a whole lot of running. I've already built up once to 15 miles for my long run. And I definitely cannot go out the door today to do that again, let alone anything longer.

But I do have enough time to build again for a half marathon, maybe get a pr and have more fun! Also, I only paid $40 for the race so I'm really not losing any money by doing the half.

The race is April 13. Half or full?

Half. ;-)

Half.

Half... I don't want to torture myself with a full unless I am really feeling prepared.

I'm always for doing what is most fun!

It sounds like your heart isn't in it for the marathon so I'd just go for the half and have fun!

[katinthehat]

Half for sure

Do the half! A half PR would be so much more satisfying that a shitty painful full.

Half for sure. With a longest long run of 15 miles, you've set yourself up for an AWESOME half or a miserable full. You just can't force a good marathon if the training isn't there. Go for the half and have a fantastic time, hopefully nabbing a PR along the way!
