Training for Half Marathon

The Energizer Night Race 2012 would be my first half marathon ever!

I have registered for the 15.5km category. I know it isn't exactly a half marathon but close enough (I think).

Yesterday I went for 7km run. It was a challenge.
The game plan is to gradually add the distance (good luck!)

CHECKLIST:

New pair of running shoes (X)
Remember the Adizero?
Update 17/03/2012: I bought a new pair of Brooks Glycerine.

Training schedule (X)
Good news is; I do have a training schedule.
This week, I am planning to reach the 7km and 9km mark.
Maybe go for 3 runs in a week.
Less training, more distance.
At the end of the training, hopefully I can run for 15.5km without passing out.

Home made organic isotonic drink (X)
Found a great recipe that I'm gonna try this week.
Will only share here once proven they are good (and most importantly, not hazardous! Haha).
Update: tried the recipe, not working out. I guess I should continue with 100plus.

Waistbelt (for Hydration pack)
This is expensive (so I heard)
Don't even know where to buy this here.
Still contemplating but keeping it in my checklist just in case.
Thinking of a custom made hydration pack.
