Re: 1/2 Marathon Countdown

Glad you are feeling better. you didn't mention it but did you get body gluide too so you don't chaf?
I haven't seen you post anything about it but are you a sodium secreter when you sweat? do you have a white "crust" when it dries? if so you may need more sodium for your run in that heat. I know there was a low carber who did the NO marathon in the heat and used 2 of those take out soy sauce packets to replensih her sodium cause she was a secreter.
you going to be posting afterwards so we can all celebrate with you or you going to make us wait a day to see how well you did? see i know you are going to finish in fine style and be a running Atkins billboard the whole way.

Re: 1/2 Marathon Countdown

YA I liked the Slogan too.

WOOHOOO

2 days till the HALF MArathon

WOW 2 days I am soooonervous and I ahve been having one heck of a time sleeping LOL. HMMM I wonder why. It's been a long haul here. I did do my 3 miles yesterday it felt good but, it's sooo hot here in the 90's that I am not used to running in that it really took a lot more energy to run then normal. My HR stayed in the training zone though around 14-146 so that's good not any higher.

SO I ahve to go into red Deer tonight and Pick up my Running Package between 4 and 8 pm then I am gunna Doctor up my numbers all Perfect like with my LOGO. WOOHOOO for me.

OK I will try and get some sleep but, it's really really hard all I think about is running HA HA HA

Re: 1/2 Marathon Countdown

Start slow; pace yourself. 13.1 miles is a long ways. Keep your emotions in check; don't get caught up in the excitement of the race. You waste alot of energy doing that. Don't talk to anyone during the race; focus your energies on one thing; FINISHING. Speed is *not* important. Finishing strong is! Keep to the outside of the "pack" so you don't have to weave in and out of those dastardly WALKERS. (I think people who walk during a marathon shouldn't get the medal)...

Remember, pain is temporary, but the satisfaction of finishing never fades. Wear that finisher's medal with pride, knowing you did what few others ever dream of doing.

Re: 1/2 Marathon Countdown

yep
Make sure whn you start you go your pace as others around you might be going faster then you do and you will get exhausted just doing the first few miles too fast.

Re: 1/2 Marathon Countdown

I'm just busting over here to know how you go! For me it's Sunday at 2.10pm but we are some hours ahead of you and I'm not sure of the time difference. I think it is 12-18 hours depending where in North America you are (east/mid/west). Go Sarah - the runner powered by ATKINS!

Re: 1/2 Marathon Countdown

I did great I paced myself and was passing sooo many people towards the end it ROCKED finished in 2:36:40

The long awaited Pictures I did Absoulutely Fantastic I had to walk one little stretch but it was a HUGE hill right before the finish line so all in all in over 2 hours I walked for about 4 minutes maybe and I came in Screaming. I should be getting a few more Pics from the Photographers from the race these are the ones my Hubby snapped for me. YES, I did it all LOW CARB and I am really great right now other then my legs are a bit stiff. YAY ME!!! I CONQUERED THE HALF!!!!!!
