Hi folks,
I'm pretty new to all this but have signed up for the Princess Half in 2012! It's the race I always imagined being my first half (you know, for the last few months before I started running in March...).
Then I looked at my Southwest account and I have a frequent flier ticket that expires 1/30/12--I can't use it for the Princess! I honestly don't see much going on between now and then that I can use it for, and if the family is coming with me to the Princess (and vacation the week before--school's out), we can't afford to take another big vacation between now and then, even if there's one free ticket.
So...I'm thinking I should use it for a race. I was all excited about the Las Vegas RnR Half, but I have a work conference that weekend (argh). The W&D is sold out, and I don't have anyone to run the relay with (but maybe I could find someone here???). I was thinking about Tink...that could work out, but is 3 weeks too close together for 2 half marathons for a beginner? The coast to coast would be awesome, though. Honestly, marathon weekend feels a little intimidating to me, and all things being equal, if I'm doing two half marathons within a month or so, I might as well get the C2C, right? But if I did marathon weekend in WDW, I could get an AP that would cover the Princess...

What should I do? Advice is welcome, but I can't promise I'll take it...
