Half-Marathon prep notes

Here are my notes in a memo on my PDA before the Half-Marathon. I'd learned the hard way in my long run training that hydrating the day before is important. Even though this race was my ultimate goal, I didn't sign up early enough to use the online system. There is no race-day registration for this event, so I needed to do all of that the day before. (Fortunately it is local to me, just a quick drive across town.)

The smileys are for things I was too embarassed to write, even in my own notes. The first one refers to what happens after coffee & breakfast, the second one what happens after several miles into the race. My low-profile running socks started being a problem, maybe more due to my slipping insole than the socks themselves.
