Love The Half Prep....#5 Half Mary of 2013

So I am less than 9 hours from running my next half marathon this year!  I am pretty excited because I will be pacing my running buddy tomorrow so we can get her a PR which I know will happen.

Weather is on our side.  It's been so hot here in Dallas, but we got a nice cold front.  Today was a pretty productive day.  I had packet pick up, the first chapter meeting of our sororial year and a pre race dinner.  I've been eating pretty clean especially in preparation for this race. 

As you see below I am race ready.  It took me quite a while to figure out what shoes to wear because I have several pairs for different type of runs and workouts.  I decided to go with my Kinarva 4 shoes as they are light weight and very good for me on a flat course plus I have my insoles to keep my feet in line.  My Garmin is charged fully and I will be wearing my chest strap.  I heart rate trained when I first started out running, so I am just use to wearing it and watching my heart rate.  

I have my pre race breakfast set out.  I always eat something that will stick to me such as the peanut butter which also has the protein, an apple for some sugar and half of a banana for the potassium and carbs.  I eat this about 1.5 hours before the race and then I eat half a granola bar about 30min before we start the race. 

I also have my clothes laid out and I am matching from head to toe.  Will post pictures on my blog tomorrow with my race discussion. 

Well it's 10:40pm and I need to get some rest as I have to be up at 5:30am.
