Well I did my carbo-loading, and slept 10 hours last night. I have to wake up at 4am to take the subway, to make sure I line up by 6:15am because the race starts at 7am. Forecast calls for between 72-75 degrees and about 58% humidity. Not overly terrible. This is my first BIG race since my nightmare of a run at the Long Beach 10miler back on Memorial Day. I'm feeling good right now (just ARMED my iPod with all the necessary tunes to hopefully ensure a sub 9 min/mile race).

I tried to get into this race based on the 1:30 qualifying time. I ran a half last year in 1:30:11, and explained to them that it was in the mountains and at altitude, and probably would've been 10 minutes faster on a "normal" course. They said sorry Charlie.

remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.
