First race since my injury at the marathon last year is on Thanksgiving. Just a five miler. Excited! I'd love to break 35.
Take it easy for a couple of days. Did you hit your knee at all? If not, you seriously lucked out!
When I fell and hurt my knee last year, I thought I was feeling better and went for an "easy" run. Near the end, I looked down and saw I was running a 12:00 mile. I got mad and started running hard, which made my knee really hurt. I limped to the end, finished my run under 12:00 and could barely walk for the next few days.
Great race.
Get into town early. Traffic and parking are annoying with the half and 8K also going on.
Nah, I scraped my knee a little bit, but no injury really. I was definitely pretty lucky, as of course I was at literally the furthest point from my house when I fell and it was 5:30 AM.
Have you had problems with battery life? I love my knucklelights, but have been less than impressed with their battery life.
I actually contacted customer support about it and was sent a new set. They said they found that some were not turning off completely and draining the battery when they weren't in use. I was given another pair, but they still seem to be burning through batteries. I just had one set die after a (generous) estimate of 15 hours of use.

Just checked their web-site and found this:
Under normal use (an hour so per day) high quality Alkaline batteries will typically last 20-25 hours on HIGH POWER before you start to see a fade in the lights. You will get much longer burn times on the LOW and BLINKING settings.
I tend to use mine on blinking, so it seems like I should be getting more life out of them.

My Knucklelights go through batteries pretty quickly too. I usually only carry one, and the one I carried most also corroded/rusted from sweat inside the battery spot, which was lame. Mine only have on and off settings, no high/low/blink.
Turkey strutted in the rain this morning, beat my time last year by 3+ minutes. I'll take it -- the last mile up Northwest to First is killer.
Eta -- wow, just checked and it was almost right at 4 minutes quicker.
