I was looking at a race that had a half marathon and a 5K. It's womens only and states that the course will close late due to walkers and the last 5 miles are on a trail. It doesn't seem too high pressure.

I was thinking it'd be fun to do the 5K but DH asked why I wouldn't do the half. I'm running 10-15 miles a week right now. My long day is 5.5-6 miles. The race is in 6 months. While I'm competitive, I raced enough in my past life to not want that kind of stress so I wouldn't be hoping or wanting to place. I only want to have fun, not be last (or in the last 3rd, maybe) and not feel like &*^% though I know sometimes that just happens.

The 5k would be fun but it wouldn't be challenging. The half would be challenging and more of an accomplishment. I like accomplishments.

Could I be ready for it? Today I rode 20 miles and ran 3.5 miles and really, I could've gone longer. I know that riding is different than running but my body is getting used to extended periods of exercise.
