So -- the day approaches. Unfortunately, I have had some issues with my back, and a crazy schedule, so this has had an impact on my training. HOWEVER, I have been re-inspired by my Brother-in-Law, Dan Schmidt, and his training for this effort, and his effort at using this to help raise funds for a small village in Africa that his church is partnering with (check out www.myhillside.ca/index.php?doc=boro for more details on this).
From my point-of-view, I am going to go ahead with the 1/2 marathon, but I will be doing walk/run, and truthfully, mostly a walk. From what I can gather, there are a fair number of walkers in the 21.1 km 1/2 marathon, so hopefully I won't be along. I walked 5 km in under 30 minutes this morning, so hopefully will be able to finish on that sort of pace.
Think of me at 0700 on Sunday morning. I won't be wearing my kilt, but maybe that would help!
My trusted iPod will be charged, and off I go....
