I blundered into a half-marathon today but decided to just roll with it. It looked like the same one I ran earlier this year, identical course, and it actually felt almost the same weather-wise: moist. I'm not sure I could have run a full on a day like this. Here's hoping next Sunday will be cooler and drier.
I ran over to the church, around the parking lot, and then through the neighborhood a bit before stopping at the house to take a drink a gel pack. Then it was off to the normal route, where I saw the signs and refreshment tables long before I saw runners. I adjusted my route a little once the runners came my way. I ran the sidewalk up past the dog park on my way back, and around the pond twice. I also backtracked .12 miles after I broke away from the race route and ran that section twice so I could end with a total of 12 miles.
I probably overdid it afterward. Went to the store and got some supplies to stain the fence, and then proceeded to stain three sections. I decided to stop after that, which now seems wise. A trip to SF this week and then a couple of rest days before the race. The taper is almost complete.
