Thanks again, you've been a huge help in getting us both ready for it. Other half seems truly bitten by the bug and will be keeping it up I think. I'll keep running but I think maybe only up to around 10k or an hour? We'll see. Bus today in any case!
Another thing I was thinking this morning is that I totally underestimated a half marathon and how difficult it would be - I thought my on-bike fitness would transfer, and to some extent it did, but the amount of conditioning you have to put your body through to run for 2+ hours is incredible. Renewed respect (not that it was lacking) for those of you who regularly run distance and seem to be able to do so in comfort!
