Stockholm Half Marathon 2009 Preview

I've never run more than about eight miles - except the two marathons at the end of my Ironman races. And those don't really count as I walked quite a lot of them.

I would like to test myself and, also see what these longer races are really like.

so the opportunity to run the Stockholm Half Marathon with some friends, followed up by some good food and drink with them, seemed ideal.

My 10K personal best is about 44 minutes, but I'm probably a bit off that right now. I think I should be able to manage a time of 1:40 - and so that is what I'm aiming for.
