I learned yesterday that my planned half marathon in October has been cancelled. Apparently, the race's big sponsor went under, and well, when a business goes out-of-business, they don't really want to fund a race. So, this throws a wrench in my plans, but thankfully, I'm a quick thinker, and I checked out other local races, and I believe I have found a solution.
There's a 15K on October 15th that I can run. Now, I may teach English, but I can do math, and I know that 15K is less than a half marathon, but it's the closest I think I can come within that time frame. And really, I just want the opportunity to run a longer race before the marathon in January to get a feel for it.
Plus, 15K sounds longer -- no one in America can calculate kilometers anyway (you Canadians, shush).
But, I've gotta find me some gum before my evening class; I have turd breath, which is weird since I had an antipasto salad, not a turd salad for dinner.

Bummer on the race.
Hey, atleast you found another race to run that will get you pumped! 15K does sound longer! :)
Jess, dang that must be disappointing. I would think the 15K will be enough to give you the same benefits you were hoping from the half-marathon.
Antipasto with turd croutons perhaps?
