Hi Melissa! Thanks for your invitation for the Diva half on back on Saturday. I was just wondering about how I should go about signing up for the race. Is there an in-group sign up or is it individual? If you could just clarify this that would be great. Also, I am really looking forwards to yoga on Wednesday but I forgot to jot down the place and time so if you could also remind me of that that would be amazing. Thank you!

- Hi Melissa
I would say get into the 50s per week. You need 3 long runs before the marathon of 20+ so if you only run 40, the rest of the week is pretty slack.

- You must have run pretty even, which is smart.
I am running NY. Have done lots of training, but have hamstring issue. Hoping it is not a factor.
