Went downtown to meet Flatlander for some inspiration at the olympic trials.  We got to watch a couple loops and it was pretty cool.  I yelled for Paul a couple times and got a confused stare, like "who are you...?"  Then I had to bail to get in my own little shakeout run.  I ran from my parents' house to Allen Parkway and the timing worked out to where I got to stop and see the women leaders come flying by around mile 23.  There was a definite top 3 - Davila, Flanagan and Goucher, I think, with no one really that close.  Then I jogged home after 5th place came by.

Weather for tomorrow - looking good.  46F to start, 56F at the finish, but cloudy.  Shouldn't be too hot.

Goals for tomorrow:

A+ stretch goal:  sub-3.  Not planning on going out fast enough to make this happen, but you never know.

A goal:  3:05 and a BQ

B goal:  there is no B goal.  Sink or swim!

Bib # is 1772.  I think there's a way to track here if anyone is interested.
