Race Day!!! May 8

25k River Bank Run. Largest 25k in the country. Draws athletes from around the world. What have I gotten myself into?!

Woke up to the sound of howling winds. Not good. Freezing out. Not good. Looks like rain. Not good.
Meeting the girls in the lot at 630. Up at 515 to eat an english muffin with peanut butter, honey and cinnamon. Back in bed. Snuggle with Mischa. Visualizing the finish line. Have never run 15.5 miles before so not sure what to expect. Longest race to date is 10 miles and did that on a whim. 600...better get moving. Shorts (tights in the bag), sports bra, sleeveless, long sleeves, jacket (vest in the bag), hoodie, sweat pants, smart wool socks (back ups in the bag), race belt, ipod, beer tickets :), bib number, coffee mug with hot water...think thats everything. Out the door. Crazy traffic. 18,000 runners! Finally at the lot and there's my girls.
