Getting ready for my second half

I am in the process of getting ready for my second half marathon and my first of four scheduled in 2008.
Making sure I have my rain proof gear as it is supposed to be rainy.

Showers / Wind

High 51° F

Precip:		60%

Windy. Showers in the morning becoming widely scattered in the afternoon. Thunder possible. High 51F. Winds WNW at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 60%.

I remember back in 2000 I ran into a neighbor that ran the half on a rainy morning before the Super Bowl. I thought he had a screw loose but then again it was something that probably could never do.
Last year I ran the Kaiser 5K and it was the first time running with the Nike iPod (it was put in wrong). A year later I am doing the half marathon and I will get the cool silver post race blanket.

My goal is to finish the 13.1 mile course in 2 hours and 30 minutes which is about five miles faster than my half marathon in November. The weather was perfect in November.

I am going to be setting up another Parkinson's fundraiser shortly for the other 895 miles that I am going to run in 2008. (and three other half marathons plus Bay to Breakers and the other race in March...)

Got my JELLY but Cosmo will be with me as well like Yoda. I am not even going to stop if I see a standard poodle (unless the standard poodle is lost...)
