Getting stuff packed up and then heading out early this afternoon for a lazy day of packet pickup, expo, and eating a bunch of mini wheats in the hotel.
How is the weather shaping up for the big day?
Caretaker/Overlook Hotel
4 miles of speedwork at the local track dodging the band kids & the color guard girls.

Morning dailies.
Good luck to all of our racers this weekend!
Completed my LR for this weekend. 16 Miles @ 9:00 pace. A sub 4 FM is looking well in hand. Now I'm going to put my DD down for a nap and then figure out where my running belt went to. DW said she let DD play with it and I couldn't find it this morning.
Have a great day everyone!

Excellent! The race is in your hands then, which is all we can ask for.
DW said she let DD play with it and I couldn't find it this morning.
I would rather them play with my money, outside, with a dozen of their friends than screw around with my running gear! lol
I got out for 7 easy and it was nice to be running at a sub-9:00 pace again. This week has really been weird in that all of my easy runs have been on the plus side of 9 minutes. I have chosen not to push anything however, and just have taken whatever my body is giving me.
My back is still tight but getting better. As such I will get out later for a few more miles, choosing to do a double instead of running it all at once.
Ran a 10k in 38:08. Beat my goal, surprised, and pissed off about those 9 seconds.

Good luck to the racers! I will wear shorts dang it, it might be a little nipply for the 10-20 minutes but I know it will warm up. The hike was nice, Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial area, but to the cabin and they were cooking and stuff. It smelled good..... I might drag my mom and DH back there tomorrow

Tom - nice of you to let him use the monitor, and good on an unscheduled run
It's his to keep - I don't need 3 of them, especially since I don't really use one.
4 miles today, easy pace. Didn't want to ruin my legs with a long or vigorous run because I still intend to go long(ish) tomorrow.

That is extremely tough to do, and very impressive!
Nice run BP! Those nine seconds are the carrot that dangles in your future.
FS, you crack me up!
Nice job on the runs and races!!!!
