Tomorrow we race

The half starts at 7:30. I am not looking forward to having to get up so early for it and to top it off with no coffee. I will make do with a caffeinated gel and emergen-C. I am looking forward to the run and my ankle is feeling MUCH better. I am pretty sure I would have run today.

I picked up my bib and chip today. It was funny, I didn't feel nervous at all, but the lady on the escalator behind me sure did. She fretted and stewed and wiggles in my back, constantly chatting away with her friend who desperately tried to calm her down. She was a wreck, I hope she makes it.

Paul's 5 and 1/2 year old daughter Josie really wants to run in the race with me, but decided that since she didn't get registered that she better not. So after the half, the big race happens as Josie and I have plans to race down the block to the end of the street. I am pretty sure she will beat me.
