I have some friends who are baaaadddd influences! They convinced me that I need to run the SL Half on Saturday. So at 10:00pm (1 hour before registration closed) I registered and paid $90...ughhhhh....

So I'm taking today off and doing a slow 3 miles tomorrow. This is the most spontaneous I've been about a race. I'm getting WILD!!

3xLLL

Stretching and foam rolling

I happened to have a massage scheduled for tomorrow....hopefully that will help work out the rest of the kinks in my legs.

YAY!!! We need to meet and ride the trax up together :) I'd offer a ride, but I've got to bust a move out of there afterward.

So excited that you are running the SLC half! You do have to pay a pretty penny sometimes to do races. In the past I have usually just bandit the SLC half. The course went in front of my house and it is the same route I would run on everyday.

GOOD LUCK tomorrow! Larry and I and may be Lowell will be at the finish to cheer you in...then we are going to mile 20 to run Lowell's friend in...it's her first marathon! Have fun!
