Hi All - The Seaside School Half Marathon & 5K is on Sunday, March 7th 2010. Vera Bradley is our presenting sponsor again, so all racers will get a great Vera Bradley tote bag. Both races, especially the 5K, are filling up already. We don't want a lot of disappointed locals or other runners, so if you are planning on racing, register ASAP.

You can visit us at seasideschoolhalfmarathon.com or on Facebook at Seaside School Half Marathon & 5K | Facebook. Register at active.com at: Seaside School Half Marathon and 5K | Santa Rosa Beach, Florida 32459 | Sunday, March 07, 2010 @ 7:00 AM

It really is a well-run race at a good time of year for the New Year's resolution crowd, even if you're not in it for the tote bag.

Can I please request that it not be 38F and raining next year, though?

I have put in the request. Let's hope it's granted! What was interesting last year was that it was warmer at 4am than it was at 7:30am. But not much warmer! Luckily we haven't had any rain on the day of the race for as long as I can remember.

Three years ago was perfect weather. Nice and sunny for lounging around after the race. Last year's weather was awful, and as soon as racers finished, they boarded the shuttles and got the heck out of Dodge.

Okay, so let's say I gave up running a few years ago due to my body no longer being able to handle the pounding on the joints. I'm interested in participating in the race, but am not at all interested in running more than the 5K. If I started training next week, is that enough time to work up to running a 5K by race date. Not sure that I want to "walk it."

Okay last year was more light drizzle and heavy cold wind than rainstorm, but still I'm hoping for much better this time :D

One thing I've learned to not worry about is the weather! I did a triathlon last March in Louisiana and froze to death coming out of the water and on the bike - but the year prior it was shorts and like summer!

It is the standing around waiting for the even to begin that will get you. Once you start running it doesn't matter!

SOUNDS LIKE FUN!

Just want to remind everyone that if you are planning to run in the Half Marathon or the 5K, to sign up ASAP. Just got an update on our numbers and they are phenomenal. We are filling up faster than we ever have.

Also saw the Tshirt artwork for this year and it's gorgeous. A little different than years past, but still along the same lines. One of the students at school worked with Billie Gaffrey on it. Wow, we have some talent at our little school.
