    I'm doing my first 10K tomorrow and my first half in February. All the advice is very helpful, as I'm finding myself very nervous tonight. :)

    No advice just good luck! I am hoping to do my first half next year. A friend of mine is doing a full Air Force Marathon in Dayton, OH, tomorrow. Is that where you are?

    Yup, I'm doing the same event. :)

    No advice, because I am also running my very first half-marathon tomorrow- the exact same one! :drinker:

    Good luck! Did you sign up for a pace team? I'm planning to run with the 2:20:00 pace team.

    p.s.- I sent you a FR on Endomondo. I will be using that app for the run, too.

    Awesome! I didn't sign up for a pace team; but my goal is to finish it is under 2:45:00. I'm not a very fast runner...yet :wink: Good luck to you!

    I was originally signed up for the 10K, but my friend didn't make it before they sold out, so I changed races. I'm nervous too, but I'm way more excited! Good luck tomorrow!

    Free of charge, my top three tips:

    1) don't go out too fast!
    2) don't go out too fast!
    3) don't go out too fast!

    The wise one has spoken! Of all the little things that will make your first Half miserable, this is the one you want to pay heed to.

    Good luck!

    THIS< PLUS: ENJOY YOURSELF!!!! HAVE FUN. :)

    My official time was 2:40:35! It was a awesome experience, I can't believe I accomplished this goal. Now I have to decide if I want to do the half again, or shoot for the whole next year. :drinker: :bigsmile:

    I am so excited for the Air Force HM tomorrow. It's my very first one! I know it's going to be just like my long run, but with a LOT more people, but I can't help being nervous. :) Do any veterans have any advice or tips for me?

    No advice, but to say I am proud of you, I don't even know you..just do the little things right that you do on your long runs and have fun! this is a huge achievement :-)
