Adeline, there's no shame in doing a half marathon. The 13.1 miles should NEVER be looked at as less of an accomplishment...even if you have ran in marathons before that. You are doing something that ALOT of people don't do (excercising). Just because some full marathoners may look down on the "mini marathon", that gives no reason to change what it's called. Calling it a different name isn't going to change the distance, or the training. Its still going to be 13.1 miles.
