I am running in the Westchester Medical Center Half Marathon on Sunday in White Plains, NY. This is my WDW qualifier, so I am hoping for a good time. I had planned on two other races later this month, but both courses were damaged and this is it. I hope that I am ready as this is two weeks ahead of schedule.

Running the U Can Finish races tomorrow. It is a 5 mile race followed by a 2 mile race.

Did New Orleans Jazz 1/2 today. Hot doesn't begin to describe it. I finished fine but not with the pr I had hoped for. I have a lot of work to do before the marathon in January. Please let there be cool weather.

I ran the Jazz half as well. I'm a cool weather runner (40's and mist is my PR type weather) so 73 sunny and humid at the start did not bode well.

My last run before the half was a 2 miler in early July so I was pleased that I could run a half with 3 months of no running and a meniscus tear in my left knee.

I'm impressed too considering all the potholes that had to be dodged.

Ran the Westchester Medical Center Half Marathon - 2:03 - a lot more hills than I expected, but I felt pretty good throughout the run.

I finished the Southernmost Half in 1:54. It was really hot once that sun came up, it was along the ocean at the southernmost point along A1A. The worst part was that there were only 6 water stops along the whole course, not enough in my opinion for the outrageous heat. That heat slowed my pace down quite a bit.
