My very first half is just 4 days away!

I'm doing my last run today - only 3 miles...then i walk 2 miles on Friday and that's it till Sunday (according to the training plan I've followed)...

Can you all give me some tips/pointers for nutrition, etc. for these final days? also, i'm so worried about my toes -- they seem to cramp up on me when i do long runs.
while it's a sunny 71 here today, it's forecasted to be a high of 58 and 40% of rain on Sunday

what was your long-run(s) and what was your nutrition plan for that run?

My longest has been 10.2 miles (on part of the course) and I did oatmeal and a protein drink before hand with chocolate milk immediately after for recovery.

I keep reading and hearing to carb load a few days before with pasta...uh, my pouch doesn't do ANY pasta or potatoes..

Your "Carb Loading" should be a multi day process.
You start about 3 days out and increase your carbs.
Each meal you start reducing the carbs.
Until the night before when you are back onto a normal WLS type diet.
Here are a couple good articles on it.  I followed it for my last two 1/2 marathons and it seemed to work great.  There was no issue with running out of energy.

I can't find the article I was thinking of right now, but basically what it said was for a Saturday race.
Thursday morning would be your biggest intake of carbs, then you would gradually decrease the carbs over the course of your meals for Thursday and Friday, ending with a light meal Friday evening.


Remember, You are probably only going to be out there 2-3 hours so it's not a huge energy drain on you.

A HUGE carb load is not necessary for a Half. Just eat some complex carbs the next couple of days... Oatmeal, granola, brown rice, veggies and fruit, nuts, etc... stay away from fiber the day before the race, you will be fine. Toes cramping? That's odd.... Perhaps an electrolyte embalance, or Plantar Fasciatis, who knows, I am guessing it is symptom of PF, but you will do great. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!!!

what they said :)  just don't make any drastic changes to your diet, especially the day before and day of the race.   you'll do great.

Nothing to add. Just HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!

Congrats on attempting your first Half......I know the feelings you are having right now.  I completed my first half about a month ago (and my 2nd half 2 weeks ago).  Prior to running the half, the farthest I had run was 10.6......13.1 is not much more difficult.  My tips:  watch your pace at the beginning of the race.....do not start too fast.  You can always increase your pace towards the end if you feel that you have plenty left in the tank.  As far as nutrition, I continued to eat my normal meals leading up to the race with the addition of some sodium (sports drinks worked for me) the day before the race.  The night before, I did eat a meal consisting of complex carbs (pasta), but I did not over eat.  I ate my normal amount, which is not much due to my band.  Eat your breakfast at least 2 hours prior to the start of the run.

My most important item on long runs: GU gels.......I usually take one 15 minutes prior to the run and then during the run.  When I feel my energy or concentration fading (usually 3 or 4 miles), I will take in a GU gel.  This has worked well for me in all my long runs............however, if you have not been using them, you may not want to start on race day of a half.  This may be a tip for future runs!

Good Luck and most of all, have fun!  It is a great feeling of accomplishment to cross that finish line for the first time!
