My first half was Cleveland, and I had the exact issues you had - down to the blisters under the same toes,cramps, chafing, etc. I really think it was that darn oppressive heat (so much sweating, then dehydrating I suspect)! It's a miracle we made it out alive! You are giving me hope that my next half on November 4 will be far more enjoyableAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-14992446425579168392012-10-24T17:46:30.912-04:002012-10-24T17:46:30.912-04:00Yes :( I HATE having to use my PointsPlus on GU a...Yes :( I HATE having to use my PointsPlus on GU and Gatorade, but I do count it.Katie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733849582309631730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-43397158909714172572012-10-24T17:18:33.144-04:002012-10-24T17:18:33.144-04:00Love the picture! =)Love the picture! =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12279960655304798582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-57798875077978454962012-10-24T13:24:29.776-04:002012-10-24T13:24:29.776-04:00Katie-You've inspired me to get back on WW onl...Katie-You've inspired me to get back on WW online and this time, it's sticking!

I get in the modes where I say "I'm never eating sugar again" and all it does is set me up for failure, because as I know too well, there's no way I'm never eating sugar again.

I'm thinking of trying your 6 week challenge idea for myself.

My first full is in 2 1/2 wks and turning into a nervous wreck about it! I'm so glad your second one was a much better experience than the first. This one will def be my "one and done".
