6 days! Are you excited?!

Im totally unprepared for the half, but im sure itll be fun!

Help a yankee out - whats the weather like down there? I spoke ti my dad yesterday and he said its been in the 30s in the morning and up to 60s during the day. So im thinking capris and a tank. Im having a hard time thinking about it since its SO cold here!

Hi! I was just getting ready to page you. I've been holding out, because I didn't want to jinx us.

The weather looks like it's going to be great! It's varied a bit, but the majority of the time, it seems to be predicting a start in the upper 40s, and a high of the mid-upper 60s. Since I'll be out there twice as long, I'll probably go with shorts and a tank. I know I'll get warm in the last 10k.

I'm the typical mix of excited & dread. lol I'm as ready as I can be, but the lovely taper has been playing it's mind games on me.

When do you get into town?

Im sure youll kick ass! Meanhile, i havent exactly trained. I ran 10 miles last week, that sort of counts, right? Lol the weather has totally demotivated me. I was going to run 13 this weekend then didnt, i was going to today but figured i really should be tapering. Or "tapering" lol

I get in friday mid-day, im picking up my race stuff friday afternoon. My dad didnt let me rent a car, so hes driving me around, i convinced him we need to leave his house at 5 on sunday, because im nuts. He said hes only 30 minutes to celebration lol

I'm butting in here - that sounds exactly like our weather yesterday and I would definitely wear shorts. I ended up ditching my arm warmers right before I even crossed the start.

LOL! I'm sure you'll do great. I had no more than 15 mpw between Chicago & Savannah, and I winded up with a 2 min PR. Think of how fresh your legs will feel! ;)I'm so glad the the weather is cooperating & that you'll get a break from the frigid winter.

We're driving down Saturday morning, and we have a hotel room in Celebration within a mile of the start. I totally get the 5 AM craziness. With it being an inaugural race, you just never know what traffic will be like. How sweet of your dad to humor your crazy. I'll PM you my info, and what I'll be wearing. Maybe we can look for each other at the start.

runaways, I was thinking of possibly making some arm warmers. The nice thing is that my DH will be at the start, so I can go dressed with layers, and then hand everything off to him. This is similar weather to my 22 miler, and I ended that run in a sports bra. There seems to be long sections without much shade. I think if I layer w/shorts, tank, sports bra, I'll have all scenarios covered.

Sounds like a plan. And ill keep reminding myself of how much ass tou kicked at savannah!

runaways thanks for the weather input! Im having a hard time imaging feeling warm right now lol
