10 mile race on 12/26 - too close to the WDW 1/2?

[bunnyfoo]

I was thinking of signing up for a 10 mile race on December 26th. I figure it's better than hitting up the malls and shopping I haven't done many races before and wasn't sure if it was too much and too close to the 1/2 in January.

What do you guys think?

If you do it at a training pace and not race pace you will be fine. 2 weeks before you don't want to work too hard but the miles will keep you ready for WDW!

Good Luck!

I think it's something you can do. Just as Robert said, take it easy on yourself.

I would trade it out for your 10-mile training run (or whatever your may run is). As was alrady said, just run it like a training run, not a race.

Thanks for the advice everyone! My training schedule actually has me running 15K as my long run that weekend so I figured that a 10 miler wasn't too far off.

I'm a little on the fence since the race is in a town that is about an hour's drive away. I'll have to see if I can convince anyone else to come with me

I do WISH that you do find someone. Often at events there are chatty folks you might hook up with as you make your journeyn in case you decide to have a go at it alone.
