I know this post was from almost a year ago but I was googling race recaps of the OCNJ half because I decided to run it (tomorrow) to train for a full I have in October. I too plan on adding miles onto the race (I’m hoping to do a 22 mile) and I’m glad I found your post! Great job and inspirational!

Thanks, Jenny! Haha, I knew it would be the perfect picture to capture our post-race conditions, lol. Too funny, I never thought I’d be one of “those” people, believe me!

Thanks, Kathryn! Oh, believe me, I was worried about that, too. We had to get up super, SUPER early, which is never fun!

Hahaha, I know, right? It definitely made the time go by a little bit quicker, which I am ALL. ABOUT.

Yes!! Glad the 5 miles before the half worked out for you! That picture of Todd on the beach chair cracked me up. When I was running before the Bird in Hand Half, another girl said…”oh boy…we are THOSE people who run before a LONG race” haha

Great job on another strong race! And kudos to you for getting those 5 miles in before the start of the race. I’d be so afraid of making it to the start line on time by adding extra mileage pre-race.

YEAH!!! So glad that you decided to tack on the miles before the half and that you felt on top of the world after completing 18. Now you can start your 20-miler full of confidence! GO GET IT!
