Got off work at 630am and walked to my car.....De ja Vu...high winds and a bit of snow, for real?  If it is like this for tomorrow's race I draw the line.  I will just drive up and get my shirt and turn around to my house.  NO WAY am I racing in pelting snow.  I don't have it in me.  I am sooooo wimpy right now, my fight is stagnant.  You see after all these nights in a row the exponential affect gives me a serious confidence wipe out.  BUT NO WORRIES I AM sure the REAL JULIE will step forward come 6am tomorrow and prove to herself she is NOT a quitter and somehow plant her feet at that starting line, come HAIL or TORNADO.    JULIE #2 , the imposter, forgot one thing,  JULIE #1 knows where she (doesn't) sleeps!!   Obviously no workout today, all energy consumed in a ball, hopefully rolling into a larger and larger one as I count the hours down to the moment of truth, true story : D.  I am not even sure any of this made sense.  Oh well.

Good Luck tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing you. I know you will do great. I just checked the weather; so far it's looking pretty good. Let's cross our fingers. Now go get some sleep:)

With all your pent up energy you should be flying tomorrow! Hope you get some good well deserved sleep, and that the weather cooperates.

They have a cloud with snowflakes all over it from 5am until 9am, whatever that means ! ? !
