hint don't look at the markers saying how many K or miles you have gone. it can play on you. never look at the 21k marker for sure. i did once and all that I could think was if only I did the half i be coming in and oh my god I still have 21 to do. it can be a real head game. I can promise you when you hit the wall push through it and somehow once you push through it you get your legs back and start to feel good again.
Running in the water is a good way to train also. I damaged my knee while I was training for a 50k race and had to take a to the water for awhile and it worked. It is harder than you think but you are not putting any weight on it. Just make sure you have a the belt around you so you don't sink. stay in deep end

Hubby's is on his 61st Birthday. He's very excited, but nervous. He's run a few halfs. Personally, I could barely do a 5k.

Whether I'm at home or at the office, I make it a point to get up at least once an hour and walk for a few minutes - if I'm at the office I'm dropping things off at other people's desks, going to the ladies room, getting coffee, etc. At home, even it its just to refill my water bottle or change loads from the washer and dryer. (Which I'm about to do as we speak.) I have severe osteoarthritis in my knees and if I don't move, I get so stiff it takes me a while to stand up.
