Rain or not you will run the half!
Moreover a half under the rain is epic and the pics more beautiful.

HI Darlene,
Oh yes, I obsess about the weather if it’s a race I’ve worked hard in training for 8)
I check the 10 day forecasts at least twice a day 😉
What I care about is being able to harness all that training for a PR! So, I DO NOT WANT hot or humid…I just slow down and nothing I can do about it
Temps below 60F at the finish line, thankyouverymuch!
Rain is ok, as long as there is no headwinds (tailwinds welcome!) and it’s not a major dumpage (or it’s over quickly)
Enjoy your HM!
