Disclaimer: I received an entry into the Surf City Half Marathon as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review, find, and write race reviews! All opinions are my own.
Race weekend is this weekend and wouldn’t you know it, it’s expected to rain again. LOL. Unfortunately, this isn’t a one day rain type of situation. It’s actually expected to rain multiple days so that’s a bit of a bummer, but at least I won’t overheat during the race. Gotta look at the bright side people. š
I have no real race goals going into this half since I’m experiencing a bit of plantar fascitis, but since it’s supposed to be raining, maybe my goal should be to not experience hypothermia. LOL. I think that’s a good goal right? To not freeze to death? It took hours to regain feeling in my fingers after the Irvine Half and I don’t really want to repeat that again. š
A goal. To finish the race without losing feeling in my hands. Hah! Maybe I should invest in some hand warmers too while I’m making this goal. š My B goal will be that if I do get hypothermia, I will still try to finish the race. Hehe. Priorities. š
Despite the rain, I’m still looking forward to seeing a bunch of friends from Southern California. I always have a blast meeting up with people and seeing what everyone is up to. If you’re also running the race, let me know. I’ll actually be volunteering at the Honey Stinger Booth on Saturday so if you’re around, drop by.
Oh if you know of any furloughed government employees who also run, let them know that the Surf City race is giving away a limited amount of entries. You can read more about it here. š
So nothing too exciting planned for this race. I do hope my plantar goes away. I’ve been stretching every chance I get hoping it’ll ease the pain. It’s more bearable now so fingers crossed it’ll get resolved soon. š
Question for you: What plans do you have this weekend? Any races coming up? More importantly, have you experience plantar fascitis and are there any really good exercises and stretches to get rid of it? I’m all ears!

Not freezing would be good. Iāve totally changed what I am wearing on Sunday. I still have chafing nightmares from the Harvest Half.š

I’m sitting here hoping I brought my waterproof jacket to the race. LOL. I couldn’t find it at home and I thought it might have been in my car and was in too much of a rush this morning to check. If I didn’t bring a waterproof jacket, I may have to purchase one last minute. I’m just wearing my Bibrave tank and shorts. Last time I wore my tights, I was soaked in them so I opted for shorts. Now I’m not so sure if I made the right decision. lol

I wore shorts and a tank the last time I ran a race in the rain, it was miserable. I changed everywhere so I am probably going to overdressed this time around but Iād rather that than the opposite.
