My brother and sister-in-law that ran it with me are from San Diego and they seemed to do fine. I would say if you could find a higher elevation to train at once in a while that would probably help. <br /><br />That is so awesome that you are all signed up! I signed up as well so maybe we'll get to meet :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10001434697395665503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2314220282664683300.post-33434123216572275722013-08-12T11:07:36.664-07:002013-08-12T11:07:36.664-07:00my husband and I are running Zion next March.

Do you have any tips on how to acclimate to the elevation? Also I noticed that this race is all up hill, although it does seem gradual did you feel like you were going up hill the whole time? <br /><br />Way to go for running. 9 miles straight is a big stretch! you are a runner for sure! I only started running a couple years ago. I never in a million years thought I would be signing up for a half.

I'd never had it, but didn't think twice about trying it. WORST MISTAKE EVER! I was in so much pain. It was like Ka-blam or ka-boom or boom. Stay away. <br /><br />Also, WAY TO GO 9 miles without music! That's AWESOME! How do you not consider yourself a runner!?Amy Benitezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681514903553962937noreply@blogger.com
