WWH&F Do? Half Marathon Question
So I signed up for the Little Rock Half Marathon in two weeks. The problem is my training isn't where it needed to be, and I am considering backing out. I've done two half marathons previously, my last one was in April. My longest long run was an 8 miler about a month ago. I've only been running about 1-2 times week since then. I feel confident that I could finish it, and maybe do some run/walking if necessary. I just hating setting myself up feeling like it's going to be awful. So what would H&F do?

Re: WWH&F Do? Half Marathon Question
If it were me, I would still run it.
I'm sort of in a similar situation. I was registered for the RnR DC full, but just wasn't getting the adequate amount of training in, so I dropped down to the half instead. I still haven't been great with my training, longest run was 9 miles 3 weekends ago, but I have every intention of still running it. I have a little more time than you, mine is on St. Patty's Day, so I'm just going to suck it up and try to get all of my remaining runs in for the weeks that I have left.
My time might not be what I originally was hoping for, but since I race for fun, it's about the experience anyway. I personally wouldn't be happy with myself if I bagged it all together, I want to at least try, I may surprise myself. Not to mention losing out on my entry fee, I'm cheap so that would really bother me!
I say go for it!

If you want to do it, do it. Just treat it as more of a training run, and make sure you do the run/walk if needed. Maybe use this as a good jump start to your training for another 1/2 where you can aim to train more and go for a PR?
