Yeah, definitely put as much water on you as in you, especially in the latter miles. Do a quick google of heat exhaustion symptoms so you’re familiar. Have a small cooler of washcloths floating in ice water for the end—heaven on earth. Adjust expectations. And then have fun!
Since we moved three years ago I've tried to buy most my clothes used--and I won't look back. I have struggled with shoes though because sizing can be so much tricker. Good luck with the run!
This is such a great post! Really informative and even a little funny. :) I feel like I want to go back and read it 3 times to absorb more information. Also, I think your Birks look fabulous, though the "barefoot" comment did make me chuckle.

Shoes are SO tricky! I also find that shoes are something I'm not likely to find in a local thrift store since my feet are so small.

And I'm going to read this comment at least three more times!!!
We survived the race. No PRs for us, but finishing was a win. And the Ithaca half is a stunning course.
