I am running my very first half marathon on Sunday. Eep! I hope it's a good running day, I hope it's not raining, I hope I have the energy to make it 13 miles!

I can't imagine being in good enough shape to run 13 miles! I'm sure you've worked really hard on this.

I've been running and slowly building up my mileage for about a year. I wasn't trying for a half marathon, but my running buddies talked me into it. Here goes!

How many miles is half a marathon? I am woefully ignorant of these things!
Good luck, sweetie!
Pace yourself is what I hear...
It's not good to sprint!
Have fun too!

4. A half marathon is 13.1 miles |
|
I've been practicing longer runs, so I know how to take it easy and pace myself.
Thanks!

The only time I run is if something or somebody is chasing me.

8. Well, if someone does chase you for 13.1 miles |
|
just remember to run at a slow, steady pace, stay relaxed, and keep hydrated. You may not be able to do all those things if someone is chasing you though..... :P

I admire you running in a marathon. I never could do much running because of back surgery but it looks freeing.
