As I'm sure you all know, I am nowhere near ready to take on this challenge, so I'll be giving regular updates of my training over the next 4 months.

If running a half marathon wasn't tough enough, we've decided to do it in Lisbon, where the average temperature at that time of year is 20-25 degrees.
