13.1 miles is half of nothing!

No Running today, rest day. Have client meetings, so have to take the car. Still, I've done 20 miles this week already, and to be honest its starting to feel like it.

I must admit I have been getting a little 'narked' over the past few months as people seem quite keen to stress the word 'half' in 'half marathon' which is why I read with interest of a group of people who are keen to ditch the 'half marathon' moniker and start calling the 13.1 miler a Pikermi, because 13.1 miles shouldn't be considered half of anything! Why Pikermi I hear you ask. Well, the marathon was run by Pheidippedes from Marathon to Athens. Roughly halfway between these two Greek cities you find the town of, you've guessed it, Pikermi. So in just over one week from now, I'll be doing the Cardiff Pikermi if you don't mind - sounds good to me!
