Half marathon questions

Um, what do you want to know? 

It's a 13.1 mile race that is not a distance to be taken lightly by mere mortals as opposed to ultra-marathoning gods/goddesses. 

Your run training looks good.

Well, my initial reaction is that it's a bad idea.  You're risking injury.

Now, in my personal opinion, you need to go buy a metronome, a pair of Newtons, and start doing intervals every other day.  You don't really need a long run, either, they only teach you to run slow. 

1.  yes
2.  yes
3.  you're kidding, right?
4.  beer

you're welcome

Just because you're a doctor, do you really think you are qualified to answer #3? The obvious answer for all of them is beer - to solution to, and cause of, all of life's problems.

I'm sorry, but experientially, a half-marathon is nowhere near half the distance of a marathon. Actually, I lie. I like the second halves much better. But I am sick. I also got lost on a half-marathon where I wound up nearly covering a full-marathon distance. And I still wasn't DFL  

Well, say the half-mary's part of an actual full-mary ... sometimes you run parts of all three.
