I have completed 3 half marathons (2 of them at Disney!) and I would recommend that if you are not feeling like it, then wait.

Half way through training for the 2nd one I lost interest because of life happenings. I pushed myself to do it, I did not enjoy it, I took more than normal walk breaks, had a slower time and didn't feel like I had accomplished anything when I finished.

The first and third I enjoyed my training, I know that seems odd. But it was great for my stress levels and I liked the I can do this aspect. I'm not a very fast runner and take lots of walk breaks, my times are about 3 hours.

I am signing up the for the Disneyland 1/2 in Sept 2010 and another (not sure which yet in 2011). If you'd like a cyber training partner I'd be happy to volunteer. It's not the same as a real training partner but every little bit helps.

I ran a 5K the weekend we moved in and it was NOT fun! I had not trained well for it and didn't feel good about it at all. Instead of enjoying the race I thought about all the stuff I still had to do. When there is a lot going on, it doesn't always mean a better run.

Ohhh EVIL ... that flavour coffeemate isn't available in Canada. GRRR!!!! It's a problem food for me anyway. Just one of those things that I havew a hard time sticking to the appropriate serving size.

Keep up the good work! You are coping with a lot now in days, and you are coming out as a winner! Stay positive!

It sounds like you have alot going on right now. There have been some big changes for you, and I dont blame you one bit if you put racing off, for now. There will always be time for it later.

The Peppermint Mocha one is really good too :)

Yeah.. I didn't run at all this week. I need to run tonight if you want to come over. Lord knows I could use a little motivation.

That beer sampler looks awesome!

Maybe I missed it, but did you blog more about your decision to throw out your scale?! Would love to hear your thoughts on that. Have you heard of the blog called the Candid RD? One of her recent posts was about why it's not a good idea to weigh yourself all the time
