The difficulty of choosing a race

So I know I want to run a race in December-ish. This is all I know.

Choosing a race is so difficult.

For me, the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon is a built-in goal. Everybody around town who runs is usually running at it. A bunch of non-runners are volunteering for it. It’s for an important cause. It’s an easy pick to say the least. 

But now that I’d like to do a mid-year half-marathon, I’m feeling a little intimidated. The Williams Route 66 Marathon in Tulsa would be a great fit, but I don’t know for sure yet if I’ll be ready that weekend (Nov. 17-18). So I either amp up my training or I start with a blank slate. Darn it. I guess I’ll spend more time looking than actually training this week.

Why is this so hard?

Thanks for the comment! I now see the typo in my headline and have corrected it. This is, however, The Oklahoman. Thanks!

There is still plenty of time to train for Novembet. The next decent race is in December at White Rock in Dallas
