Deb: Know your course

One of my helpful hints for running a race is to know your course.  I like knowing what to expect - hills, turns, and "not much longer - you can do it" mindsets.  My upcoming half marathon route is on the internet:

But, of course I like to see the route in person, so I am dragging Gary to Atlantic City for a short weekend visit.  We will drive the route, check out the area and roadways, get to know the turnaround and then head back home.  It was a tough sell, but I explained to Gary how important this aspect of a race is to me and so he said he would suffer through the weekend in AC!  Thanks Honey!
