I know that you can rent racing bikes for events, don't know what it costs. Probably kayaks as well.

As for the bike, I've got an older mtn bike that I was going to sell and put that $ towards the purchase of an entry level road bike.

Ran today! My GPS app had a minor freak out and added an instantaneous 0.3 miles to my run, so my stats are out of whack now 
But it made it look like a ran a 7.5 minute mile! 
I'm hoping they'll fix it for me.
kimbur, I'd be interested to know what training program you're using for your half-marathon - I'm going to be needing a program soon.

Nice! Reminds me I need to register for the 5k in Pittsburgh in May.
I ran yesterday - it was fine, although I felt kind of sluggish. I don't know if maybe it had something to do with the flu vaccine I'd just gotten. Or maybe I was just kind of off. In any case, I still did the same loop, my pace was just pretty slow.
Nike+ did fix my running GPS oops. Actually I randomly posted the question on their facebook page and they were on it and fixed it for me within like, 30 minutes. I was really impressed!

Ran 3 miles today, took me 34 minutes, and that was with walking maybe... 8 minutes of it. I'm still vaguely following the C25k program that I'm doing, but I find myself wanting to walk less than it tells me to. But I still do some of the walking.

So one difficult thing about starting longer runs is that I don't want to run where it's really hilly. One big problem - I live in Pennsylvania! Hills are everywhere! So I'm excited 'cause I was able to talk to someone yesterday who does a lot of running, and he recommended some great places to run that will be both scenic and pretty flat.
Does anyone have any recommendations for running gear? I don't have a lot of money, but I basically run in my bulky sweat pants and old T-shirts and sweatshirts right now, and it's kind of cumbersome. I could some cold weather bottoms and tops. Suggestions?
