Training update

Exactly one month until the half-marathon. 18K clinic run on Sunday. Got soaked through in a torrential downpour last night that lasted only for the duration of our speedwork. Toweled off and felt surprisingly entitled to accompany the group for beer and greasy bar food after. Still trying to get used to the consistency of gels, which I liken to swallowing half a tube of chocolate-flavoured toothpaste. Someone at work told me the other day that I "look like a runner," which doesn't really mean anything, but was sort of cool nonetheless.
