About two months ago Julie got on the computer to register for Hong Kong's excessively popular annual marathon -actually, she wanted to register for the half marathon. If you don't register in the first week or so, you won't get in. She was having a little trouble. She would get all the way to the end, enter her credit card number, and then it would boot her off the system. She was a little frustrated.Well, she figured, later this Spring she could look for a couple of local 10k's she could sign up for.
We got back into town after Christmas break and there waiting for her in the mail was her registration packet. Unbeknownst to her, she had in fact registered herself for the Standard Charter Banks half marathon -which was now less than six weeks away.
In a panic, she went on line to find a training schedule. I think she googled the words "How to train in a hurry." She's been training ever since.
The run is today.
