Oh, and someone asked which race it is...

It's the Virginia Beach Half Marathon, Sept 5th. I have a friend who did that one and highly recommended it. Should be fun with all the bands!

Has anyone done that race? Any race specific advice?

Amie, I'm so glad you posted this. I, too, am doing my first half in a month (November 7) and am totally freaking out. I'm so glad I'm not the only one out there. AND, I am totally trying your audio book idea.

CelticHipie,

I am glad my post helped someone! And you are definately not the only one out there!
I think a certain degree of anxiety is good, it keeps you on your toes and helps to push you a little further when you're tired. But really, all you can do is just use your month to train as smartly as you can (without trying to do too much, too quickly in response to your panic) Rest adequately, and have fun!

Having the half be my first, it was bound to be a learning experience regardless. So, looking back, there are a couple things I would do differently, but really what it came down to is grinding it out those last few miles when my body had had enough. It was loads of fun, and I will definately do it again!

Good luck with your training, let me know how you like the audio book idea!
