I will be running 5 miles on the treadmill tonight in between sessions of work.  Went in at 5:30 this morning to get caught up - but when I left at 4 I had even more work to bring home.

Can I tell you that I am not happy about snow?  It will make the course soggier.

I am making the best spaghetti sauce in the world tonight.  I can eat this by the spoonful - it is so delicious (forget about pasta).  I will probably eat this (with pasta) every night this week for carbo loading.

- In a deep pot, pour 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes in puree, 1 28 can tomato sauce and 1 12 oz can tomato paste

-For each of the following, sprinkle on top of sauce to evenly cover across pot:  fennel seed, basil, black pepper, oregano, salt; also, 2 Tbsp sugar and 1 bay leaf

- in 3 Tbsp olive oil, saute 15 min finely chopped: 2 lb gound beef and 1 lb Italian sausage. Remove greas. Add above meat and sauteed mixture to sauce in pot.

- Add 1 C water and stir. Cover and simmer for 4 hours.  Sample often to make sure it still tastes good.

I have your container filled with some of the sauce for you and Harold. I will try and drop it off tonight.

I would be happy to pick it up if you would like. Nice to know I don't have to think about dinner!!! I love Italian sausage, I will make some garlic bread and salad! Do you want to eat over here? Then we could go over any last minute plans. Your blog today filled up the whole page and you can't make comments.

Thank you, Britta! I am a little excited about the race.

I found out there is another drop bag location, so am packing that tonight. And I found some mini protein bars from Power Bars that I am including.
