We're Ready!

Congratulations!! From a training perspective, we are ready!! I hope you feel good about the work you’ve put in over the past 7 weeks since the 10K – we’ve made tremendous progress!!

Okay, here’s what we can do to be 100% prepared for Sunday's Half Marathon…

1. Hydrate well this week, with emphasis on significant water intake on Friday and Saturday.
2. Load up your glycogen stores Thursday, Friday and Saturday – read “Preparing for the event” at http://www.cincinnatifitnessrunning.com/ for a reminder.
3. Rest. We’ll have 2 easy runs this week – Tuesday for 35 minutes, Thursday for another 35 minutes. Rest Friday and Saturday.

On Sunday, we’ll meet 45 minutes before the Half to be where we need to be AND to warm up with a light jog and some stretching. Don’t forget your energy & hydrations needs during the event. You can review the following article here: http://www.multidays.com/html/articles/energy_gels.htm.

We are planning a group dinner on Saturday night – details will follow. Also, we are planning a group lunch after the Half on Sunday – details will follow.
