Good luck! I would get in an easy 3 miler in before the race though either tomorrow or day before especially since you did not run Monday. That many days off and you lose your edge/sharpness and some blood volume!

Those who try, fail! Those who do what it takes to succeed, succeed!!

Okay, got in a 3 miler this morning.

Felt great! Really feel like the taper is working, I ran a 10:02 pace with an average heart rate of 143.

Lots of unspent energy right now.

Forecast is still showing mid 50's for the start and slight chance of rain.

That sounds like perfect running/racing weather to me. Good luck!
