Ealing Half Marathon...shall I or shan't I?

When I saw this yesterday I panicked.

Where on earth has a that year gone? I can't believe that the second Ealing Half Marathon is nearly upon us, and am having major wobbles.

If you read any of my somewhat pained diary entries from last year you will realise I am not, never have been, nor will ever be a 'real' runner.

But I was part the inaugural race last year - and I actually got round the 13.1 miles because I said I would.

I'm glossing over the fact that I was walking most of it and was very nearly the last to finish but I did it.

So a while back those kind people at Ealing Half Marathon HQ invited me to take part again and in a fit of madness I said I would. But now it's getting close - a reality rather than an idea - and I'm wondering why on earth I did.

I know how hard it was last time, and I have all the same reasons why I shouldn't do it  (including plantar fasciitis)
