I have started cross country running recently to lose a bit of weight and get fit, but I'm wondering whether I should push myself a bit further and consider doing a competitive run, such as a half marathon.

Have you ever done a competitive run before? Even if your mileage is high, you might want to start with a 5 or 10K just to get your feet wet and to learn about how a race works before jumping into a half marathon. Thanks for stopping in, Feel free to introduce yourself:smileyhappy:

I agree with Maria...start little & work your way up! Once you do a 5K, then you'll want bigger & longer races. It's contagious. Welcome to the board!
