Wish me luck!
I am running my very first half marathon on Sunday. Eep! I hope it's a good running day, I hope it's not raining, I hope I have the energy to make it 13 miles!

1. Good luck!
I can't imagine being in good enough shape to run 13 miles! I'm sure you've worked really hard on this.

2. Thanks so much!
I've been running and slowly building up my mileage for about a year. I wasn't trying for a half marathon, but my running buddies talked me into it. Here goes!

3. My dear suzbaby!
How many miles is half a marathon? I am woefully ignorant of these things!

Good luck, sweetie!

Pace yourself is what I hear...

It's not good to sprint!

Have fun too!

4. A half marathon is 13.1 miles
I've been practicing longer runs, so I know how to take it easy and pace myself.

Thanks!

Wow, 13 miles.. I don't think I could do it! I'm sure you can, though!

7. Good luck.
The only time I run is if something or somebody is chasing me.

8. Well, if someone does chase you for 13.1 miles
just remember to run at a slow, steady pace, stay relaxed, and keep hydrated. You may not be able to do all those things if someone is chasing you though.....
:P

9. LOL
I admire you running in a marathon. I never could do much running because of back surgery but it looks freeing.
