Ran just over 3 miles solo this morning then couple more with Kim. This will be all the running for today since Hobble 1/2 is tomorrow. I seem to have survived the wire-tripping incident yesterday without any serious setbacks. Thanks to Kim for working my hamstring over a bit last night. I also sat in the ice-tub for 15 minutes. My legs still don't feel quite like I'd like them to feel the day before a race, but then again at this point in the peak phase of marathon training cycle and with no taper this week I wasn't expecting much better.

Per Ian's suggestion the #1 goal of the race tomorrow is to have FUN!. In other words I hope to have a GOOD TIME! :) Best of luck to everyone racing tomorrow!

Ave pace 9:20.

Run well tomorrow! I think you're due for a great race.

Good luck tomorrow. I always tell my kids that the most important thing when playing sports is having fun and there is nothing more fun than winning. Can't wait to see how well you do.

Tom, great attitude, in the big picture, every race should be fun. Hey, I may see you at the end if they have not turned out the lights and gone home by the time I finish.
