Women's Half Marathon - St. Petersburg

The Hardware

Race Bib

Picked up race bib and pace team bib now I have to try and keep up!

So true

Race Expo

Going to the expo on Friday afternoon to pick up our race bibs etc. While we are downtown St. Petersburg we'll go to the Dali Museum for a light lunch and latte.

Training Run

Last 30 minute run before half marathon on Saturday. Very humid this morning which made for a tough run.

Final stretch of the Women's Half Marathon in St. Petersburg

Looking forward to seeing the finish line when I round the final corner.

Tomorrow is a rest day

Run and Walk on the Beach

Started off with a 40 minute run then headed out to Pass-A-Grille Beach for a walk on the beach. Lots of people on the beach today.

The Beach

Went back out to Fort De Soto and sat in our beach chairs. Great way to spend an afternoon.

Training in Florida!

Arrived in Flordia 13 days ahead od the half marathon. On Wednesday and Friday we did 40 minutes runs - ran around the Pinellas Point neighborhood. Today we're doing a 6 mile run at Fort De Soto. We will run on the bike/walking path - start out at the North Beach parking lot and head toward park headquarters in back - flat run close and close to the beach.

Training Run in Florida

Did our first run in Florida - 40 minutes around the neighborhood. Temps in the 60s. Supposed to warm up later in the week - our 6 mile run on Saturday might be a warm one.

Easy Run

40 minute easy run through BayView - Rusk-Oklahoma-Clement-Morgan-New York-Wenthome-Home. A light rain started during the last 10 minutes, we had full rain gear on.

2013 Events?

I'm looking into events to do in 2013. Looking at half marathons, half marathon replays (2-person team), cycling, and sprint triathlons. To date, I've identified a half marathon replay in May, 2013 that looks promising.

Long Run Day

8 mile long run this morning - out and back route (South Shore Park to Warnimont Golf Course). Temp in the high 30s and breezy in spots. Easy pace - one hour and twenty minutes. Two weeks from half marathon.
