	Has anyone run the marathon or half mary? Any tips or suggestions? I've got my plane ticket and hotel and am planning on running the half. This is more of a destination race than trying for a fast time for me. I've been training in 40 degree temps. Thanks in advance for any info.

It was a lot of fun and pretty sobering at times, seeing some neighborhoods that are still ruined and abandoned, you can still see the high waterline on the houses. It's completely flat, and has pretty good postrace food (red beans & rice and beer). Besides, it's New Orleans. Enjoy.
	No, I don't want the damned combo special. Now quit asking me that.
