Taking the plunge

I promised myself that if I stayed fit and maintained my momentum come August, I'd sign up for a half marathon. Now that I've hit the 10 mile mark, this certainly seems a realistic short term goal. Today I signed up to the EDF Energy Birmingham Half Marathon. This will be held on the same day (October 11) and same track as the World Half Marathon Championships. It attracted around 9000 runners last year. Add in its close proximity to home and surely it's the perfect event for my debut. I'll be using the race to raise funds for charity. Hopefully this will all be set up by the end of this week. More details coming soon.
