The race is 6 months away. But that's the best time to figure out your strategy. If you make a plan now, you can factor in vacation and work obligations so they fit into your training, instead of derailing it. Here's my training mantra: Set a Goal. Make a Plan. Get to Work. Stick to It. Reach Goal. This is pretty much my get-through-life mantra, too. Make a Plan That Includes Shorter RacesOne of my favorite things is finding races that fit into my training plan. Since Palm Beaches Marathon is in December, that means lots of Summer and Fall races are available. I'll race a 5K in August, a 10K in September, and a Half in November in on the way to my goal race at Palm Beaches. The beauty of this long-range plan is I can make changes. I've already switched my 10K between local races. I also can factor in less running during trips. Get to Work. Stick to the PlanI'm starting this training cycle with a 12-week plan to prep for a 5K. My last half was in February, so I want an easy plan. This one lets me acclimate to hot Summer weather and ease into consistent running again. A month before my 5K, I'll transition into my 20-week half marathon plan. Reach for Your GoalAfter 6 months of reasonable training and a practice half done, I'll be ready to race for a PR at the Palm Beaches Half Marathon in early December. Check out the course map below. Is there anything better than races with views of the ocean? Not unless it's in Florida in December! The Garden of Life Palm Beaches Marathon is a flat, fast course. The marathon is a Boston Qualifier. Ready Race in December?

This Hoodie Keeps You Warm...and CoolWe've all been there — freezing cold at the start of a run or race, then overheated after a mile or two. Then, a few miles later when the sun disappears, you're cold all over again. Or, how about this scenario: You start your race wearing gloves/mittens. After a while you stuff them in a pocket during the race. After you finish your race, you discover you only have ONE mitten! The other one fell out of your pocket somewhere out there on the race course. Yeah, that's happened to me a couple of times. And I've seen plenty of other people's lost gloves and mittens while racing. That won't EVER happen if you wear the new performance Turtle Gloves Mitten Hoodie. This mitten hoodie can be as flexible as the weather and your body temperature. Keep reading to see how they work. Disclaimer: I received a Turtle Gloves Mitten Hoodie to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about being a BibRave Pro, and check out BibRave.com to review, find, and write race reviews! Turtle Gloves Mittens are Built-in to the HoodieCheck out the photo below. My mittens are connected to the sleeves of my hoodie! But this system is waaaayyyyy better than the old safety pin and string method we used as kids. The conversion mittens are sewn into the cuff on the sleeve. But the beauty part is that they're only sewn on one side. That makes it easy to slip in and out of them. And because the mittens/fingerless gloves are attached, you'll never lose them! The Mittens Convert into Fingerless GlovesIf you don't need the full mitten treatment, fold the mitten back and wear the fingerless gloves. The fingerless gloves are a long length to give you warmth + flexibility. Of course, you can fold them back again to create short fingerless gloves, if that works better for you. Don't Need Mittens? No ProblemThe best part of the Turtle Glove Mitten Hoodie is you can tuck away the mittens when you don't need them. Now, you're wearing a traditional hoodie — but you're always ready if the temperature drops! This lightweight hoodie also has two deep fleece-lined front pockets. I wouldn't run with my phone in them, but they're good for carrying fuel. It's Easy to Check Your Stats on the RunOne of the things I like best about this design is the watch window. When I'm bundled up, I don't want to peel back my gloves and layers to check my pace. Because the gloves are sewn onto the sleeve cuff on the underside, it's easy to view your watch without struggling to push back layers. A Few More Design DetailsRight now you can get the lightweight performance pullover Turtle Gloves Mitten Hoodie in gray or light green. (Sorry, the orange is sold out!) This model has the Watch Gusset on both outside wrists for viewing GPS watch, Health ID bracelets or inspiration bracelets. You can wear the outside cuff over your watch to keep batteries warm, or fold it up for continuous viewing. Just like the hood, you now have mittens ready when you need them. This performance hoodie fabric is made for fitness. The wicking material provides breathable comfort. Wear it alone or as a base layer. The hoodie is designed with extra length and roominess so you can wear it over other layers. The body, front pockets, hood and mittens are all lined with lightweight fleece for cozy comfort. Overall, I think this hoodie is a winner! I Have a Turtle Gloves Discount Code for YouYep! Use discount code "TURTLEBIBRAVE" until 12/31/22 to get 20% OFF your order!

It's Time to Start Training and TrackingThis week marked the beginning of my Gasparilla half marathon training cycle. I'm super excited to run the Gasparilla Distance Classic FOR THE FIRST TIME! I can't believe it's taken me so long to run this race. It's an awesome event, but usually conflicts with other races and events. But now, at last, I'm running it and want to make the most of it. I'm giving myself extra training time — in hopes of really smashing this flat, fast course in February. (And, to give myself some flexibility during the holidays.) Fingers are crossed, and I've started running and tracking my progress in a new training journal. I find when I write things down I do a better job of consistent training. Register Early to Guarantee You're at the Start LineThe Gasparilla Distance Classic is a popular race weekend. All the races will sell out, so if you want to run a single race, a challenge, or all the races — go register now. February in Florida is a beautiful place for a racecation. #GDC #PGDC #PGDC2023 #RunGasparilla #RunTampa #RunStPete #DiscountCode #GasparillaDistanceClassic #GasparillaHalf #BibChat #BibRavePro #RaceDiscount #HoorayRunning #ThisOldRunner
