Why o why can't I decide?
So I joined the training program with the intent to run this
Well, not the full marathon, but the half. Now I need to decide which half to run...decisions, decisions. The first half starts super early (I think by 6, 6:30) with the full marathoners and runs a course very familiar to me. The second half starts around 8 or so and begins in Golden Gate Park and runs through places I've never been to before. Torn. Here are the pros and cons for each:
Pros:
Starts near home
Familiar course
Across Golden Gate Bridge
Regular start
Cons:
Ends on other side of city
Boring
Windy bridge
Decent hills
Pros:
Ends near home
Unfamiliar territory
Fairly even elevation
Cons:
Don't know how to get to start
Don't know what I'm getting into
No bridge
Even after typing those out, I still can't decide. HELP!! Which would you pick? Have you run this race before?? Do share!
