Hey, I just noticed this thread. I do at least 1 or 2 halfs and a bunch of 10 ks every year. This year its only 1 1/2 because with all the wedding stuff, I just haven't been able to make any of the dates for the others. Mine is coming up in 3 weeks. I am the worst role model, I do not train for them. I just do my regular running and some 10ks races and then go run the 1/2. I've been running since elementary school so fortunately, even when I don't train, my body still remembers. Oh and thank god for the pace bunny. I find the 2:15 bunny and just follow him or her. I know if I trained, I would do so much better. And of course, when I do actually train then I don't have to spend the entire day after the run knocked on my a$$. Good luck to everyone who has a race coming up soon.
