Easy run. Average pace: 9:45.

Temperature: 32°F.

It's cold up in them there hills at 6:30 in the morning. I ran on the rail trail again, but a different section than I ran the other day. This section took me up to where I was actually running between the east-bound and west-bound lanes of I-80. That was a little weird. But there's really a lot of space between the two sets of lanes and the ground is lower, so I don't know whether people on the highway could even see me.

I spent all day yesterday at my mom's house working on a quilt that I got roped into making for the 6th grade. It was kind of a nice because I got a lot done and it kept my mind off the race. Now today is all about the race. I'm getting ready to head up to the expo pretty soon. And tonight I'm going out to dinner and then having a slumber party with Lori and Marion!

I will be thinking of you tomorrow. When it gets hard at the end, just keep telling yourself: "This is finite." Have a great ride!
