So there’s less than a week left then I’m setting out from Nathan Phillips Square to run 21.1 kms. For some strange reason, I took it upon myself to join I and said “I’ll do the half [marathon] with you”. As the words were coming out of my mouth I realized I was being very ambitious (and probably quite silly) as I said this to her in June I think. Before three weeks ago, the longest I had ever run (or walked) was about 7 kms non-stop and yesterday morning I managed 16.7 kms for my last long, training run. <\/p>\n

Even though I haven’t done the full distance, a number of sources say that there’s no need and to trust in one’s training. The recommended max distance that one should train is 75% of the actual race distance and this works out nicely to almost 16kms, so I’m a little ahead of the game. <\/p>\n

I don’t have much choice now but to trust in my training. Hopefully all goes well this Sunday and that I’ll cross the finish line, a little tired, a little sore but happy that I made it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
