Becky- I'm attempting Hal Higdon's Intermediate I plan. I'd be more comfortable with the Novice but I want the back-to-back weekend runs. I'm going to try to always get the LR done on Sunday and make the Saturday run sort of optional (as in I have every intention of doing the Saturday runs, but if my family is being difficult, I'll accept that sometimes LTO and try not to hold it against them!)
It may turn into a weird mix of Novice/Intermediate. I don't know what to do about time goals! I know I'll want to take a million pictures with the characters and other WISHers, so I'm going to say "just finish." Part of me really, really wants to go for a time goal, but that part will probably get me injured while training, so I'm trying my best to repress it! I keep telling myself that if I still like races after Goofy, I can try for a time goal in a HALF in February or March- there's a couple near me. On the other hand, I may spend those months on my couch clutching the remote in one hand and my medals in the other!
