I ran a little turnover workout this morning. It's tough moving quickly at 5:30 am. But, that's the only time I have to work out today. It was plenty of effort, though.

I warmed up fifteen minutes and then ran 3 x 3-2-1 minutes with 2-1-1 minute recoveries. I cooled down about a mile to hit 7 for the day. 7:12 average. (But my first two miles were about eight minute average.)

Feeling antsy and ready to race.

The weather in Sacramento looks perfect on race day. Low of 45. High of 62. Wind 2mph. Overcast.

That's pretty much ideal weather. Take that as a good omen - you've had a good buildup, and the cards are lining up the right way. Good luck on Sunday.
