Yesterday I received confirmation of my place in next week's Watford Half Marathon. I thought it would be good to get some event experience before Marathon Day: I know setting off too quickly is a common mistake but I need to know what other mistakes I'm likely to make. Plus it will be a great way of starting to form a routine to get me through the nerves I'll inevitably feel on the morning of April 14th.
The half marathon feels almost inconsequential - and that feels a little crazy. I say it's inconsequential because it's just another run in my training schedule and there will be several more of greater distance in the coming weeks. However, I remind myself that a half-marathon will be an achievement in its own right and should be savoured as such.
