I'm in the second wave but not sure which corral. Really excited about the race but currently nursing an injured foot. Hopefully I can get in a 20 miler this weekend! Good luck deciding on which shoes to wear!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100196071084452143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483229147095267938.post-24457525800807082722009-10-09T03:49:51.475-04:002009-10-09T03:49:51.475-04:00I had numerous problems with my Gel Nimbus 10s: bl...I had numerous problems with my Gel Nimbus 10s: blisters, black toe nails, toe nails falling off...

I guess fortunately for me I'm not seasoned enough to worry about that stuff just yet, but I often worry about what I'm going to wear!<br /><br />I think the laminator has some good advice on your race start. Weaving stinks, and it probably is good to get you to start a little slower rather than faster.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13323837093861431738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483229147095267938.post-43464328618837643122009-10-08T18:42:46.704-04:002009-10-08T18:42:46.704-04:00I think starting a little in the back may do you s...I think starting a little in the back may do you some good. It'll at least keep you from starting out too fast. Do your best to NOT weave in and out at the start. Going slow over the Verrazano really does lead to a good race. I ran my first mile last year at 7:30 and still ended up with a 6:57 avg pace, so just go with the flow and you'll be fine.<br /><br />Good luck picking out the shoes.

I ran Boston as a charity runner and was at the back of the back for the first few miles. I ended up running on the side of the road, and it was not that bad. Make sure you don't get annoyed at the people moving slow in front of you -it;s not worth it. Plus, running the first couple of miles about 20 sec/mile slower than what ended up my average pace helped a lot as I never hit the wall. Good luck!Running and livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00057835870342142162noreply@blogger.com
