If you are a state employee, or if you are a local employee covered by the Wisconsin Retirement System and your employer has elected to participate in the state health insurance program, you are probably eligible to enroll in one of the health insurance plans administered by the Department of Employee Trust Funds. However, if you were previously covered under the Wisconsin Retirement System for at least 6 months (and have not since taken a WRS benefit), you must apply for health coverage within 30 calendar days of your first day of employment.
Susan Powell of Runners World recommends drinking 16 to 24 ounces of fluids -- either water or a mixture of water and sports drinks -- two to three hours before a half-marathon. This will give you enough time for your body to process the water, so you shouldn't need to go to the bathroom during the race. About 30 minutes before the race begins, consume another 5 to 7 ounces of liquid. This should be your last intake of water before the race.
1 Multiply by 2/3: Next you want to multiple your weight by 2/3 (or 67%) to determine how much water to drink daily. 2  For example, if you weighed 175 pounds you would multiple that by 2/3 and learn you should be drinking about 117 ounces of water every day. Drink 2 cups (16 oz) of water before every meal: Science has proven that drinking 2 cups of water before every meal helps you to eat less during meal time and lose weight. 2  If you do this three times daily-at breakfast, lunch, and dinner-you have already consumed 48 ounces of water.
