I lurked on the Wine & Dine thread since the spring, since two of my friends and I are planning to run it in 2016. It was a great place to learn and I enjoyed all the conversation, tips etc that happened, but it seems most of that is either in race specific threads or one off questions. I thought it would be nice to have a place to talk training, local races, waiting for the next RD race etc
I started my two week taper yesterday for a 10k on the 12th. It's my first of that distance, but I feel good about it as long as it's not too cold. My 7 mile run was at freezing, which I know a lot of you do, but I live near Seattle and won't be running in that cold of a temperature often enough to invest in warmer pants. I was good for the first 3 miles and had to stop because my chapstick got buried in my pocket, I was cold the last 4 miles. I'm hoping it will be closer to 40 for the run.
I'm also running a 12k in April, and think that will be the one I use for POT for W&D. I'll probably find a 5k or two to add in somewhere between April and August.
