AM/Lunch: 5 miles. HR 152. Did some strides. Stretching.

Typical pre-race run. Legs are junk, I'm fat, nobody likes me (even the cat). Should be somewhat warm tomorrow (60 at the start) but not bad. I will have VIP bathroom and parking access, as well as my private track to warm up on (La Salle is ~1/2 mile away). Good thing too because there's no way I'm running through the neighborhood and the area around the race will be an absolute zoo.

come on, cat!

good luck with the race tomorrow. 10-milers are the best!

Good luck tomorrow, fat man! :)

Thanks, guys. Those made me smile.

Allie: There are a fair number of 10 milers around, which I didn't see too much of in Indiana, other than one. I really like the 15k distance as prep for a half.

I saw your comment in response to Joe's post about running slow. You're are more than welcome to join my old man running club. So far it is solo but some days it looks like this:
