I need some running advice
October 17 my plan calls for a 13 mile long run. October 18, Corpus Christi is hosting their annual Harbor Half 1/2 Marathon. This would typically be a no brainer. it is a local race and I would love to run in it. he only downside is that I am training for a marathon on a fast, flat course. The Harbor half is over the Harbor Bridge and the Corpus Christi Ship Channel twice (out and back). There are also other pretty decent little hills on over the causeway. Could a race like this even if I kept it a slow long run pace (about 10:40) be bad thing? I have never run the bridge, but I drive over it daily on my way to work. A picture of it is on the race website at www.harborhalf.com/
What do all of my fellow runners think? Oh I dont know if it makes any difference, but this will be the 1st time I will run that distance. My longest run to date is 8 miles and my longest run prior to that day will be 11 miles.

I will no longer be a spectator, a dreamer, a wonderer. I AM a doer; not only a goal setter, but a goal achiever. I will lead by example rather than word. I will "DARE GREATLY!"

Go for it! If your training schedule calls for a 13 miler already I think it'd be much more enjoyable to do it with other people in a race atmosphere.
The hill aspect shouldn't be overlooked though! However, being a running coach you know doing hills will only help your flat running. Take it easy on the 1/2 and don't 'race' it but use it as training and you'll be fine.

My favorite training runs have hydration support and I get a medal a the end :) LOL
Go for it! Just remember your not racing.
