Bill Question for ya... If I am up to 9 miles on my long day (2-3 Short days 3.5-4 miles each run) do you think i could be ready for a Half in Late November?

Absolutely, I never ran more than 8 miles prior to my first 1/2. Next week is #4.

Have you signed up? Is there one in Pittsburgh in Late Nov? I'll be running a 10k in Erie over Thanksgiving.

Hey... I wish there was one in pittsburgh in nov.. I am doing one is Cleveland Nov 22 (i believe) its a run through cleveland metroparks its a loop run (doing 2 loops) they said its flat and all paved.. Its not an ideal half but i needed one before the beginning of the year..

So i know its still 7 days a way but right now the weather say RAIN, wind of 9mph and a temp of 40.. Not looking forward to this.. I have been pretty lucky and have never run in the rain.. What would you advice me to wear?

Its going to rain here in pittsburgh monday-wednesday, I might try to go outside and run in the rain to get a feel for it..
