Subject: Looking for a good half-marathon in South Florida
I am training for a marathon (Rock and Roll in San Diego on June 1) and looking to run a HM in the next few weeks to gauge my racing time as I am trying to BQ in San Diego. I could race against the clock by myself down here, but that isn't quite the same as a road race. Anyway, I am in Key West but will travel to other South Florida locations for one. I saw the Singer Island HM on April 12th. Anyone know anything about that race? Any others you can think of that are worth running? Thanks

San Diego r-n-roll is a great race! It was my second marathon and I loved it.

As for an upcoming half I've got no suggestions for you, sorry. I'm sure there are some but I think it's hard at the moment to find a good online list of local races. I'm not sure why that is.

Is the Singer Island half a multirace event? If so, just be prepared. They do a good job but it is new ownership. Which is to say, prepare like you would for an inaugural event.

Thanks. I am looking forward to it and, other than the hills, I will be as ready as I can be. I decided to just race against the clock by myself. Not the same as a true test, but that will be fine. Running in the 7 Mile Bridge Run this Saturday. So, although not a HM, it will be my race fitness test.

I started riding this spring with the Carnac shoes on Look pedals (with plenty of float). About five minutes into a ride I get sharp pain on the outer edge of my feet, just behind the pedal.
