Preparing for Sendai International Half Marathon, 4 months away

I entered Sendai International Half Marathon.
The race will be Sunday, May 14, 2017.
Its application began 8:00 P.M., January 10 on the Internet.
It become so popular that the application was closed in 30 minutes.
I opened the application page right away after the application began, but I had to wait more than 5 minutes to advance to the next page, and it took 25 minutes to finish all the process.
It was fortunate that I finished all application process before it was closed.
My next concern is the training for the race.
I would like to jog as long as possible, but a day after my entry, it snowed in Sendai and it become much disadvantageous condition for jogging.
I hope road condition will soon become fit to jog, and at the same time I want to find a way to build stamina for the race even if road condition is bad for jogging.

This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
