No running.  Normally I throw in 2 miles the day before a marathon, but I've had so many hard core weekends in a row, I really did not get a healthy taper.  So many variables have left me without knowing how tomorrow will go. And what about that rain?  Really?  In 11 years, it has never rained on or near June 11th (I know because it's my son's birthday and we always do outdoor --stay out by the pool with that drink--kind of parties).  Anyway, in one way it's liberating just to have a totally unknown adventure lay before me tomorrow.  Catherine and I are both looking forward to seeing what a 5 hour marathon feels like.  We may have a picnic or stop for lunch on University Ave. before hitting the finish line....The 100% chance of rain should up the excitement factor.  It's nice to not have a lot vested in this race--just camaraderie and adventure.  Looking forward to seeing everyone.

100% chance of rain means maybe in Utah weather speak lately :) I hope it stays away until at least noon! It can rain tomorrow, but afternoon would be SO much better than morning.

I hope things go well either way and that you have a good time! Say hello to everyone for me.

WE'll miss you RAch. YOu've given some really great support and advice. I know you're aching to run every marathon and race known to mankind 9 months pregnant, but you're just making the rest of us look like whimps. Take good care, get lots of rest and get ready for Bourne Running :) Thanks again for your great advice & encouragement over these past few months.
