Hello there,

Just discovered your blog. I am in the Outer Banks right now ! The local paper had an article in it yesterday about the OBX Marathon. If I could ever get healthy enough I might try the half one year. My family goes on vacation here every Summer and I lived in Manteo for 3 years in the late 80's. I know the course is flat, except for the bridge, but I have always wondered what it would be like if a strong wind from the South would effect the runners.

Good luck in your training.

Hey, thanks for the message. I think that you will be able to run the half marathon or even the marathon if you train consistently. I'd do 3-5 miles a day and then run a half marathon. I love the Outer Banks and go surfing there (kiting and regular surfing). I guess I'll find out if a strong wind will affect me
