train to race or train to run



With a beautiful breeze at my back, I managed a big kick at the end of a 7 mile loop. After the trip north, and 2 days of hills in Michael's neighborhood, I'm trying to get back to greater miles and wonder, do I train to race or train to run long, just for fun?
If I go for the marathon, I have my choice of Miami or Ft. Lauderdale at the end of the year and early '08. Can I get it together all this year? If I can do the half now, can I do a full by then? It seems impossible to be on my feet for 4-5 hours, knowing the pain of 2-3. Is it just a matter of persistence, consistency, building building building more and more strength? I suppose there's only 1 way to find out.
