I was innocently listening to my new favorite podcast, The Runner's Roundtable, when I heard them mention the Worldwide Half. I remember Nigel talking about it a number of times on his podcast last year, so I was at least aware of it. But when they said it was coming up in October, I was a little shocked.

Apparently I signed up for the half-marathon back in June! Well, that certainly changes the training plan doesn't it?

At this point, it's probably too late to do any proper training for it, but I'll do it anyway. There aren't any local half-marathons scheduled for that weekend, so I'll just run a 13.1 mile route around here and see how it goes!

Not the way I envisioned my half-marathon debut but such is life!
