The final countdown!
Only five days until the Phoenix Rock N Roll Half, and I’m ready! Thank you to all who answered my questions on Cytomax and fueling before the race. My pre-race meal will be very portable, so I’m thinking I’ll have a banana or a yogurt when I wake up, and then have my usual bagel and peanut butter toast 2 hours before the race. I will also take a bottle of gatorade along with me, and alternate with that and water from the stops.
I have no time goals in mind for this race. I’ve been told that it’s a great race with great bands along the course and great spectators, so my plan is to run my own race and enjoy it.
I might be MIA for the rest of the week as the parents and my cousin are flying in for the long weekend. My dad is running the half with me and I know it will be a lot of fun.
Have a great rest of the week!

No time in mind for a first is the best way to be successful! You’re going to have a lot of fun!

24That’s great about your dad, and I’m sure he’s happy to get away from the crap weather at home!
Don’t you feel much less stressed once you make those decisions?

25Good Luck!!!! Since I’m still sick (doc says I have Bronchitis) I may be joining you for the half instead of the full. I still haven’t decided.
Maybe we’ll run into one another! That would be fun!
