Today’s Run: \u00a05.07 miles \u00a0(Schaeffer’s Chapel)<\/p>\n
Well, now I have gone off a done it. \u00a0I had to know. \u00a0My husband and I have been training for a half marathon for a while now, actually we are at the halfway mark through our training schedule for the race and I had to know it there were going to be hills. \u00a0Had to know! \u00a0It was going to determine how we trained for the last half (train for hills or just flat terrain).<\/p>\n
I popped off an email to the race coordinator this morning:<\/p>\n
Greetings!<\/p>\n
My husband and I are halfway through our training schedule for your half marathon and are looking forward to the race. \u00a0We went to your site this morning and copied the map for the half (marathon) route…we did have a question. \u00a0Is this like the Vicksburg “Run Thru History” with the killer hills or a flat race? \u00a0We would be greatly relieved to find out that it is a flat course but if it is not, then the course of our training needs to change a bit! \u00a0Thanks for your reply!<\/p>\n
Just a few short hours later he answered:<\/p>\n
“I wish I could tell you it’s flat, but you wouldn’t like me half way through the run. Really it’s not too bad. \u00a0Most of it is fairly flat. \u00a0Just a couple of places with an ugly hill or two…” YIKES!<\/p>\n
Well, they say that ignorance is bliss but in this case I think it is better to know. \u00a0We can easily train for hills. \u00a0Easily in that we can find hills to run. \u00a0Easily in that it will not be much fun to train on those hills.<\/p>\n
I just had to know and now I do…<\/p>\n
