I am ready for my half marathon tomorrow!
I have done my training and now I am ready to put it to the test. My goal is to run under 2:15 which is good for me considering this is only my third half marathon. I need to write this to get my mind set.
I did a 4 mile run on Thursday with my running gear (shorts, top, hat, headband, hat, pouch with bloks and my Ipod ) that I will be using for my half marathon. Thank goodness I did this run because there were 2 things I forgot. The major one was to go to the bathroom before the run. You all know what that is like! I think I got home faster because of it! The other was to take a small towel to dry off, blow my nose or whatever.
Took 2 days rest and have had good 7 hour sleeps so there is no excuse about being over tired.
I’ve been eating a banana a day and watching my food intake and making sure not to eat junk and of course drinking plenty of water. Tonight I will have some pasta. There have been a few notes on what or what not to eat but pasta works for me.
The weather is cooperating and it will be a nice cool 62 and of course clear skies for the start. In South Florida that is a great day, considering at the start of the week it was 74 with winds gusting at 35mph at 6:00AM.
My hubby, my Mum, my 3 kids and my 7 month old grandson will be along the course to cheer me on. Must remember to tell them what I am wearing so that they watch for me. My last 5K race my hubby took pictures…………..of another runner!!!!
Yes, I am ready and I promise myself I will go at my own pace especially at the start. Only hours to go now.
Will keep you posted.

best of luck! I am getting ready for my third 1/2 tomorrow in Monterey and impressed with your goal of 2:15 so am going to use that because my prior finishes have been MUCH longer
