Yes, I am serious. I know it's warm and my training is stairs and distance. Just want any tips on what to take. KMS

Sticking with the 1/2. My husband was talking to customers from China last night and they are setting up a bunch of fun stuff to do before and after the race, so I want to be walking. I have no shame in not doing the full, just want to RUN on the wall. The race is only on the actual wall for about 3 miles and the rest is in the local villages. It's suppose to be brutally hot and humid. I would run the school stairs, but have to work that out. The local school doesn't let people on the track during certain hours, sooo I'll see what else I can do. I have an appt at my new gym, so hopefully some advice there. Thanks again and yes I will post when done. KMS
