[QUOTE=Susan Otcenas;465527]Thanks! I think I'll go a little faster on race day too. I lost at least 5 minutes to standing at intersections waiting for lights to change. And I'm sure adrenaline will carry me part of the way too. I'm hoping for a 2:15 finish, but truthfully I'll feel a huge sense of accomplishment regardless. Sometimes when I'm out there, I can hardly believe that I'm the same person for whom less than a year ago, 30 seconds of running was enough to get my heart rate up and a minute of running felt like a long time.

I have a half on the same day! I haven't tried the actual whole thirteen though. My plan calls for ten miles on Sunday... I think I am about the same pace as you. I am a little nervous about going ten but I am just going to take it easy and enjoy it!
Kudos to you Susan!
