(Assuming you're doing it because you want to and not because you ought to - although having said that, on the daily level, running fulfilment comes from dedication to the task, so why not at the long term level as well?)
Incidentally, I'm thinking of making my next target Robin Hood 2009 (I'm a forward planner...) - no ballot entry, no winter training, big race atmosphere[?]. Does anyone have experience of it?
Interesting coincidence re RH marathon, as I'm hoping to do the half this year. I'm up that way quite often with my job, and fancy getting a runner's view of the city. Never done it before though.
The RW race-review-by-runners thing seems pretty positive. Like a lot of races where you can stop halfway or continue, the second half of the marathon is said be a relatively lonely affair as most of the runners are just there for the half. There's a long stretch around a lake which sounds quite pleasant, if a little windy. Check out RW.
If you, or anyone else, fancies the half this year as a sort of reconnaissance mission, let me know.
