If I had a way to communicate with my husband I might drop stuff off with him, but I have no way of knowing where I'll be able to meet him (he's, shall we say, lazy? ). I'm thinking the temps will be close to a 1/2 I did last month, and I did fine in a tshirt then.

My shoes have more miles than I'd like to admit. I think I calculated it recently at north of 500-600 miles. My only concern is breaking them in with less than a week to go (I should have bought them two weeks ago but my work schedule is time-prohibitive), but I didn't really have a huge break-in time with the ones I have now anyway. I think I will buy them, wear them every day, and decide when it gets closer. I might look funny in bright white running shoes at work, but my feet will probably thank me for it come Sunday!

Thanks everyone for the good luck and well wishes. I will store them in my pocket for Mile 20 when I really need them
Oh, I thought you were doing a 1/2 since you said the longest run was 10 miles (scheduled for 12) and it was your last long run (I assumed it was taper after that). Good luck on the full !

500-600 miles ! aren't your feet killing you ? I know what you mean about the bright white running shoes I've been wearing mine to work and I feel like the biggest dork ... but my feet like them !
