will i hurt myself?

My inner runner dragged herself out of the house today for a decent hamster cage-like visit to Laurelhurst Park. I haven't been running much this month and I have a million excuses, most of which are based in a general feeling of sluggishness. Yeah, I should be doing some sort of Oprah cleanse, but it's not happening. Not now.

Today I felt back in good form, but only somewhere in mile 2-3. I think I've been failing to mentally push through this strange, extended warm-up phase. Seems long, no?

Anyway, my feet seemed lighter toward the end of the run, which made me feel like maybe, just maybe, I could do the Sauvie Island 1/2 marathon two weeks from today.

But will I hurt myself hitting it with so little training? Advice welcomed.
