It is, but I keep trying anyway!
yep, I've run the Half distance in training often enough to know I can complete it in October, just trying to keep as injury free as possible and not have anything flare up.
A marathon would need much more time to prepare for. Do you have any other races booked instead? I know having something booked helps to keep me motivated in training

I have not entered anything. I could do the local 10k again, but I have done it so many times. parkrun is really my focus and I am happy to run alone otherwise. I may do some events with work if they organise them. I am not bothered about getting medals and shirts. Maybe when I feel I am making more progress I will do another longer race.

I suppose the parkrun does counts as a local 'race', and you get to do that most weekends :-)
It works as my incentive.
