Nah, too easy Larry Send a noteboard - 30/04/2017 03:19:29 AM

Actually, I have more pain when I sit for longer stretches than I ever have from running. Worst part by far was the sun. Legs are fine; just feel dried out even after drinking liters of Gatorade Endurance and Tailwind Endurance drinks.

View original postTomorrow morning I run my first half-marathon race, the St. Jude Rock'n'Roll Half Marathon, in Nashville. After weeks of rain and temps only in the 70s, the air temp will be around 90° (or 32°C) by the time the majority of marathoners finish their race. With the heat/humidity comes a heat advisory; it will be brutal, even after running in the mid-afternoons over the past month. Fool me signed up to run the full marathon next year, despite knowing that this could very well happen again next year.

View original postIf you have (or have run 5Ks or milers), what races have you run and what did you do for training? Any personal records to share?

I'm not a distance runner. I never did more than 5 miles at once. Tom - 29/04/2017 05:35:34 PM 620 Views
