Great training. Nice steady pacing. Usually it’s the runs I drag myself out to do that are the best ones, so kudos for getting after it. Stay focused on YOUR pace at that race. The real race😂 starting out steady and increasing pace gradually is key. That last mile, just like in training, go for it. I look forward to your post race video. Hope the weather cooperates. I’m not a hot weather fan either, for running.
Thank you! That will be the tough part - not getting too caught up in the excitement at the beginning. It’s looking like 60s around when the race starts so hopefully it stays cooler until I’m done running!
Thanks for sharing your training experience, including your time goal. Mine would be just to finish. Seems you have been preparing yourself very well in all aspects. With all the distractions you have faced, reaching your time goal would be quite an accomplishment. Look forward to a post-race update on your half-marathon experience. Good luck!
Run strong in Pittsburgh and thanks for the Merlin app recommendation! I had an Eastern Phoebe nested up at home. Good luck and we're cheering for you!
@mikhailalynn My wife just suggested Gatorade or something similar to help with the side cramp. We have several kids that ran cross country including our daughter who is running at the college level.
Good luck and have fun with your race! I was watching some Olympic shows from Tokyo getting ready for Paris. There was an interview with Molly Deildel. She got bronze in the woman's marathon, and it was something like her 3rd or 4th ever marathon! You two look similar to each other. Obviously though she is a professional runner.
Congratulations on completeing your training, I hope you finish the race with a good time!
Thank you! Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Cool!! Fun fact, Phoebe's are named after their call, which sounds like "fee-bee"!

Thank you! That’s so impressive she did that. Hopefully I can have a good race too (though won’t hold myself to her level 😂)!
Good luck next week!
Thank you!
