I so excited that you get to run HTC!! Someday I will be there!
I say definitely do the half after the marathon- you can't beat 20 bucks.

I am running with Team Beef Montana, so probably no one you know, but two girls on the team are great friends of mine that I almost never get to see so I am pumped about that.

I hope to be there! Who are you running with? Anyo...

I personally have run half marathon distances even the week I ran a marathon. Depends on how you recover, your base, etc. You don't have to "race" a half marathon, you could always just run it.

HOOD TO COAST! GOING TO BE THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFTETIME! Okay, I'll stop yelling. :)

I think that half 2 weeks after your marathon would be fine. We got a Ipad from a seed dealer. I don't use it,but my hubby which doesn't like computer think it is so cool. Now he can sit in his recliner and do stuff on the Ipad and watch Tv, that is when ever he comes in from outside. Dont see him much right now to busy with calving.

Yay for new toys and cool moms. I love my iPad.

2 weeks post marathon should be fine to run a half. You might not be able to race it as fast as you want, but that will depend on how hard you go in the marathon. :)

2012-03-18T07:09:58.977-06:00

I think you should sign up for the half. It is too cheap to pass up. If you are up to it, you can race it. If not, just run for fun, and worse come to worse, you can even skip it if you don't feel ok. It's not like you will be wasting $75. yeah to Best Mom!

Best wishes for your 5k! You'll do great ;) I...

Best wishes for your 5k! You'll do great ;)

I would sign up for the half but have low expectations. Marathons can be tricky to recover from and with this being you really won't know how your body handles it until go time. Post marathon I still can make the distance and the endurance still lingers on for quite some time, but speed disappears and takes quite awhile to come back. So I say sign up but keep it on your radar as maybe a fun pressure free shake out race.

sign up for the half - for sure! $20? Who can be...

2012-03-17T21:34:22.133-06:00

sign up for the $20 half! I just signed up for one that I got a heck of a steal on for $29 and it is 7 days after I complete the SBK 3-day, 60 mile walk. I figure if I can't do it...I am not out that much.

Maybe you will be doing it again and I will get to...

that was kind of what I was thinking. :)

Where did I miss you'd be running in HTC?!!!! Awesome! I think I've been on another planet for the past several months :P

Definitely go for the race after your marathon. Sounds fun! Glad you got such a good deal on your new coat. It's always so fun to find new running gear for great prices:)

And I hope she reads your blog! Nice to get new toys.

Sounds like you are getting things sorted out.

I think you are fine to run that half 2 weeks after your marathon... you have young speedy legs!

2012-03-17T20:37:53.593-06:00

I don't think it's crazy to sign up for a race two weeks after your marathon. When I was done with mine, I ran a lot the first week, even though some sources said to take it easy. I think you will be fine! And for $20, if you are not fine for some reason, you are not losing much!

2012-03-17T19:48:50.798-06:00

I am jealous you are running HTC! Maybe I will get lucky like I did last year and get to join a team at the last minute. Probably not, but you never know! I grew up close to Seaside so when you are there you will be close to my parent's farm! :-)
