Take It and Run Thursday: Half Marathons
Welcome to Take It and Run Thursday!
It's our way to bring together the knowledge of all of us ordinary runners. It's the virtual equivalent to putting our virtual heads together. Even though many of us aren't elite athletes, coaches or authors, it doesn't mean that we haven't earned a well deserved PhD in running. Whether you are starting out, have 50 years of running under your belt or somewhere in between - all of us have lessons learned that make us wiser and better runners.
Today's theme is .... Half Marathons.
Share your training plans, tricks, racing secrets, fuel and hydration plans, recovery, favorite songs, favorite races, or any advice on half marathons. There are so many Loungers who have run or would like to run the half marathon - so share until it hurts.
It's quick and easy! Just post your name and the title/topic of your post in the first spot and the link to your post in the second spot. And then read and enjoy!
The top three posts will be awarded free Drymax Socks - compliments of Drymax.
(Update: Thank you to our winners: Betsy, Chloe and k80k)
Next Week's Theme is ... Music and Podcasts. What are you listening to while you run, before you run, after you run? Do you have favorite running podcasts on or off the road? What helps you get into your groove? How are dealing with the headphone ban for some races?

I got my socks from Week 1. I LOVE THESE SOCKS.
Love them!
Thank you thank you...

It was fun writing about one of my experiences with the half marathon. I've been wanting to write this post for a long time. Thanks for giving me the motivation to get it done.

I'm looking forward to reading all the posts. I'm expecting a silver bullet from all the experts that will get me a new half PR! :)

I had fun remembering everything I did to prepare for my first half marathon. Now I'm getting pumped up for my race this spring!
