Boston (Half) Marathon

In an effort to combat all the fatty sugary (and tasty) treats the US has to offer (you really need to try Krispy Kreme donuts). I have registered for the Boston Half Marathon. Not quite as cool as the real marathon, but at least this is something I think I could at least finish.

So it's 13.1 miles (21 kms) and is in 12 weeks time. I found an easy program that takes you from 3 miles to 13 miles in 12 weeks (sounds like an TV ad). Basically I do 2 normal runs plus one long run each week, as well as cricket practise and the actual game. I also intend to lose some of this belly that has been coming along for the ride.
