Our big 15K does hats for the top 10% of runners (a model that is being adopted by some other smaller races), which is kind of cool. I don't know that I would ever be able to score one (the 15K is an international draw, so we have people like Shalane Flanagan and other elites in the field).<br /><br />Sounds like an awesome use of a Spring Break evening!Runs With Pugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171128110788554302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-59324214963596774012019-03-28T03:05:28.652-05:002019-03-28T03:05:28.652-05:00Brilliant work, well done you!

I like a tshirt as I really don't like vests / tank tops - I always rub my underarm against myself (however my weight and toning are!) and so get all sore. I loved this, by the way: "the second-to-last mile always seems to take the longest" - so true!!LyzzyBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398604923871095647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-28256197451914251122019-03-27T20:54:14.081-05:002019-03-27T20:54:14.081-05:00I've done a few other races, and for me, it...I've done a few other races, and for me, it's the opposite.

I also think the next to last mile of any race is the toughest. You have usually run a long distance and there is still a ways to go. Mile 11 - 12 in the half is that for me.
