Thanks so much for the tips! I definitely hear ya re: the sports bras, and I do plan to take a practice run in my costume…I was also going to do it under the dark of night, haha. Thanks again!

I know you will think it is ridiculous, but make sure you get out there and practice in your costume (I run at 4 am so only the paperboy really has a chance to see me in mine). The last thing you want is some taffeta rubbing and giving you a welt on race day. Also, no new bras from now until after the race. Yes, I learned these both the hard way. If you do feel a raw spot coming on during the race, there is glide available at the medic stops. Make sure you stop as soon as possible.

That’s awesome, maybe I’ll see you! I am BEYOND excited — it’s my first half, so I have no idea what to expect, but I know it’ll be a blast! I am definitely dressing up — I’m going to be Ariel, my favorite princess. How about you?
