[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should I eat more calories or carbs the latter half of this week? I have not been doing so as I don’t have an appetite.

I am obviously not doing any hard runs or hard leg days the rest of the week (I did legs on Monday), but should I continue to lift as I normally would to keep my blood flow and for flexibility?

I plan to pick my race outfit soon and thinking I’ll do a simple pasta and chicken for dinner Friday evening and a light oatmeal breakfast before the run.

Thursday or Friday is packet pick-up.  I will have to take the metro Saturday morning to the race.

What else should I factor in/ plan for? [/quote]

On the morning of, eat what you normally eat before you do your weekly LR. I'm not sure your pace, but a half marathon shouldn't neccessitate a big shift in eating/dieting the week of unless you have a pace of 10+, in which you may need more fuel just becuase of time on feet.
If you've done your long runs with any types of energy gels, bring those along. Wouldn't recommend using them for the first time on race day though.
Good luck and have fun! If you've done the work then race day is an exciting adrenaline filled treat.[/quote]
