"A good plan is like a road map: It shows the final destination and usually the best way to get there."
H. Stanley Judd
My mind is solidly made up. I am doing the HALF-marathon this Sunday in Ottawa and I can't wait! I'm excited because I feel good. I ran 14.3K on Tuesday and then 6.6K yesterday and it went really well. I feel ready, but I'm not aiming for a specific time. I want to just enjoy this race and do my best.
After this race, I will take a very short break and then I will just keep on running and enjoying the nice weather. Then, I will increase the long runs and take it slowly and if all goes well, I will register for a marathon in the fall. But, I'm not rushing to start a program and get myself all stressed about being reading for a certain date. So, I'll only register for the marathon a few weeks before and I'm confident that it'll all workout. I just want to feel good while running!
Have a great end of the week and weekend everyone!
Cheers!

Enjoy yourself at the half - you will do well!
Yay! Sounds like a smart decision, and I'm so glad that you're excited for it. Knock 'em dead!
Good call! Have fun at the half!
That is what I did for my second marathon - waited to register to see if I felt good so I wouldn't feel any pressure :)
I have had SO much fun at the races where I set aside a time goal and just ran for fun. You will do great. Take it all in and good luck!
Sounds like the right plan and the right attitude. Have a great time this weekend!!
I love this plan! Have a great time at the half!
Have a FANTASTIC weekend in Ottawa! They put on such a great race weekend.
Ooooh, sounds like a great plan... can't wait to hear how you made out.
Make it a great day!
I hope you have a great time on the course.
Have a great weekend - and ENJOY your 1/2 marathon! So excited for you and I can't wait to hear about your race report.
I had been thinking about running on sunday in the local Madison Marathon - doing the 1/2 - but after this morning and yesterday mornings runs - I decided not to register today. I just was not feeling it - and I realize that having your mind "in the right place" is key to a successful race experience.
Run Anne Run!
I'm excited about your plan. Good luck with the race.
Sounds like an EXCELLENT plan! Enjoy your race and the recovery!
We will be running a half at the same time! Enjoy it and thanks for the email. Weird you couldn't comment. Blogger is being maddening lately.
Good luck at the race - you will do awesome!
Good luck on the half this sunday.
Glad you are planning a marathon this fall (I am doing the same: Florence).
How fun! Enjoy your half marathon, and I can't wait to hear about it! I hope you enjoy the ride.
