I’ll be running the Pittsburgh Half Marathon.
Wow. I’ve been busy lately so I haven’t been posting much, but training is going well. Postponed my long run this morning because I felt ‘off’ but tomorrow’s weather is supposed to be even more amazing than today so knocking out 9 miles in the AM will be no problem.
I’ve started getting my gear situated and working on my outfit (because I need to have something bright and fun to run in because that is how I roll). Got a fuel belt. This one:
I chose to go with this over the multi-bottle models because I’ve been carrying a 32 oz bottle with me during my runs, the idea of juggling 4 bottles wasn’t appealing (and seems unnecessary given the water stops on the route) and the 2 bottle versions would only yield me 20 oz. That extra 2 oz doesn’t seem like much, but it makes me feel more secure. I’m going to try it out tomorrow.
I also ordered these:
to go under my black skirt. Not sure what color shirt I’m going to go with, but I’m definitely in the market for something wicking (though, truth be told, I typically run in plain cotton men’s Hanes v-necks no matter the distance and they serve me well). Kinda waiting to see what color pink this is in person before I pick a shirt. Also debating the name on the shirt feature…my bib is personalized but I worry the print will be too small for bystanders to cheer me on. I’m thinking I’ll get some big, black iron-on letters. 🙂
