One last run and final tune up to wake up the legs.  Ran a 1/2 mile or so with Jeff S who was finishing up then the rest solo.  Felt sluggish at first but finally loosened up toward the end.  Did a little bit at MP that actually felt better than the slower stuff.

Had a nice chat with Jeff afterward. Nice to have the Shadley family staying right next door. Hopefully some of Jeff's marathon wisdom and speed will seep thru the walls and give Kim and I a little extra race "magic".  Also looking forward to Terry Bean and family arriving tonight to stay with us.

Looks like it going to be a little warmer than my idea of ideal, but pretty typical weather for this time of year in SG.  Excited to see what adventures await tomorrow.  And hope Kim can recover enough from her cold to have a good experience.  Good luck tomorrow everyone!
