21 and a bit... never delude yourself into believing it is 20.
Also - yay, go you! The half marathon is the best distance ;-p in future training that includes some longer runs is a good plan, honest, although you have to find the time somewhere and time is not in great supply.
Yeah, today was supposed to be 14k, starting to work up to it, but at the end of that I felt fine so did another lap of the park, and at the end of that I was a bit tired, but thought I had another one in me, and at the end of that I was bloody knackered, but also only needed another 3km to hit the big shiny new milestone, at which point the sheer bloody-mindedness kicked in.
Probably not - whilst I (obviously?) don't hate running, I'm still basically doing it mostly to find out what happens next in Zombies! Run!
I'm a lot more enthusiastic about weightlifting, so the fitness goals that I'm actually working towards are in that area, although it's possible that once I reach them and switch to a maintenance lifting programme I'll use the time freed up to start actually working on running.
You know how you keep playing "just one more turn" of Civ until you've accidentally stayed up until three in the morning? That meaning, only with kilometres :)
