Pre-race routine:

My son called me two days before the race to see if I was busy for the weekend because he wanted to come for a visit. I told him if he wanted to visit, he'd have to run 13.1 miles with me! He is a well-seasoned Spartan racer, so he's in good shape but had never run a half marathon before. He agreed to do it, and since I've lost a lot of run fitness anyway, I told him we would run together at a slow easy pace.

Comments:

We kept it slow and steady and walked up a few hills. It was VERY windy which bothered my eyes/contact lenses. But it was still a beautiful day and a nice run.
What would you do differently?:

Wear wrap-around sunglasses to better protect my eyes!
