Sometimes I get pretty pepped up (nerves) before a race, and it can lead to starting off too fast. Make sure you stick to your pace. Sorry to preach! Just wanted to share that tip ;)kilaxhttp://www.ilaxstudio.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135891120424321481.post-86254828427813194572009-04-17T17:44:00.000-05:002009-04-17T17:44:00.000-05:00you are going to do amaaaaaaaaaazing!!!!! have a ...you are going to do amaaaaaaaaaazing!!!!! have a great time and soak it all up girlie :) good luck!!!Aronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418163097675963683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135891120424321481.post-21395649517590161612009-04-17T14:45:00.000-05:002009-04-17T14:45:00.000-05:00Ashley you are going to be amazing!

Speaking of which, just think of it as another run -- not so much a half marathon -- maybe that will help to ease nervousness!<br /><br />GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK!Dancing Sweet Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17327789726921684804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135891120424321481.post-47873285973424208582009-04-17T13:46:00.000-05:002009-04-17T13:46:00.000-05:00Good luck!!

Trust your training.<br /><br />1) As for the nervous poo's. YOu will have them, without a doubt. But it sounds like a big race which should = lots o' porta potties. I have had to stop during a race before (last years OKC marathon relay actually) to drop some kids off, and you know what? No harm done. Porta potties all along the race course, they WILL have them. It will be okay! <br /><br />2) Just make sure to get to race start in plenty of time, your nervousness will turn into running energy. <br /><br />3) Running in the rain is fun, just wear layers so if it is rainy/cold you will be fine, if not you can peel and toss! <br /><br />4) Most important, take care of the calf the next two days.<br /><br />5) You will do great, you are WAY more prepared for your first half than I ever was. You will make it through and feel fabulous afterward!Being Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313501742081164175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135891120424321481.post-79713495807380741012009-04-17T11:59:00.000-05:002009-04-17T11:59:00.000-05:00You are going to do awesome!
