I went to Liberty Park today for some soft surface running.  I ran 3 laps around the park on the outside path.  Then, I ran 8 x 100 meter strides to get some turnover in for tomorrow.  My legs felt much better today than they did yesterday.  When I got home I took a 15 minute ice bath, much to the delight of Cole.  He kept taking ice cubes out of the bathtub.  At least he didn't eat them.  When I ice with an ice baggie, he likes to lick the ice.  I don't think he has ever seen me take an ice bath before, so he was fascinated.  I'm sure he thinks his mom is really weird, but given enough time, being part of a running family will seem perfectly normal.

I feel good and ready for tomorrow.  I'm really excited to race!

Ice baths are the norm in my house--good to teach them critical principles in their youth :D Good luck tomorrow. I need a 6 mile tempo so I considered doing the race do it, but family is coming over tomorrow for a bbq so I thought I'd stay close to home instead.
