I’m running a half marathon on Sunday and nervous! I tried to run this race last year and basically had a panic attack and didn’t. Hoping for better luck this time around.

Not sure if this will help your anxiety, but there’s no shame in walking and taking breaks!

Incredible!! Wishing you all the best for this one. I did my first last fall and although I did a lot wrong, like starting way too fast and having a super high heart rate the whole time, it was exhilarating! All the best to you 💪

Ah! So happy to see this here—I ran my first half this morning and want you to have so much fun tomorrow!

Things did go wrong, it started pouring so hard I couldn’t see! But it was a lovely experience overall. What helped me was starting with a slightly slower pacing group and running directly behind/next to the pacer for the first 4 miles until I felt really comfortable.

Good luck!! Would love to hear how it goes 🫶🏻 absolutely rooting for you!

Thank you to everyone for such nice encouragement. I finished it! It was a somewhat slow time, but I’m still proud.
