I will. I just changed jobs and I might have to drop out.
How is the training going? I should be good for the race.aggiespartan said:let us know. We will be there for a couple of days before and after the race.kbw01 said:
Definitely, I have to check out my obligations with my fundraising team
I've already gotten a spi belt and have been using it. I have to use my phone for the intervals I'm doing right now. I don't think I'll need music during the race because it's a rock n roll race. I want to take in everything around me. I may take my phone during the race just so I will have it at the finish line for pictures and whatnot. I haven't gotten to the point of needing gu or blocks yet, but I'm sure I will.Jersey Girl said:
Just some friendly advice-you may want to condition yourself to use some sort of flip belt/fuel belt in time for the race, at least on runs over 5 miles. You'll want to consider carrying some Gu or a snack bar and perhaps a phone for music or timing if you don't have a watch. I carry chap stick and kleenex in my sports bra straps so I don't have to rummage for them in a pocket. Being in need of chap stick is the worst and makes me lose focus and want to die, but maybe it's a girl thing.
A few creature comforts on race day aren't necessary but may help you along the way while you make it through your first event. At the very least plan to have a zip pocket to carry your ID with you as you should any time you are running.
Congrats on your first half! You'll be addicted before too long! :-)
That's what I hear. I may just do 1 though because it's at 4:00 p.m. and I may need a little boost.AggieOO said:
you really don't need gels for a half.

My half marathon training program starts next week. Tonight, I'm not feeling totally defeated, and am slightly optimistic, so I'm calling that a win for the week.
