Not at it at all.
I hope you get your run in, MrPH! Larry, DS ran a 3.0-mile XC race yesterday. He came in second in 15:36, behind a very fast senior who beat the course record in 15:20. The other two boys on DS's team who are considered faster than DS came in third and fifth, so he was on cloud nine. The official Northeast rankings for boys' XC teams just came out. DS's team isn't in the top ten, but they're listed as one of the "bubble" schools. There were no other schools on the list from Maine or Vermont, and only one in New Hampshire. If the kids stay healthy, it should be a great season. (Can you tell I'm a proud mom?) It's already clouded up, so I need to get moving so I beat the rain!

Teresa ... I am in the same position you are. I want to switch my LR from Sunday to Saturday. Sunday is the Lehigh Valley Hospital Marathon. The finish is only a couple of minutes from home, so I figured I would go over an watch. The only problem is that Hanna is supposed to hit us Saturday. The worst of it should be in the afternoon, so I am hoping to sneak the run in in the morning. We'll see. We do need the rain here ... it's been dry as a bone the last few weeks.
Ran the Oakville Half Marathon on Labour Day Monday..... It totally kicked the sh!t out of me. Didn't feel well trained... did not have a good day. Hope to run better next month at the Toronto Intl Marathon (i'm doing the half) My race report is here. MTA: Edited link for race report.
MrPH~ I asked this question to the Lady Runners in the Locker Room, but I want to get some Guy Input too. What do you generally eat the days that lead up to the Half? I know you probably don't need to carb load per se, but Since I am looking for any help I can get, What would your eating look like say about 3-4 days before the race and leading up to Race Morning?
