Tomorrow is RACE day.

OH my gosh.

I can't believe tomorrow is the race.

I met the lovely Sonia this afternoon (who by the way has lost a ton of weight since the last photo I saw of her! Luckily she recognized me :P) and we hung out doing pre-race stuff and going to the Carbo dinner.

Now I'm home, frantically searching for things like lycra pants, coolmax socks and t-shirts that aren't going to drive me insane while I run. My ipod is updated with a bunch of new music. I have gatorade pre-mixed and ready to go in the fridge. I have a million litres of Chocolate Milk in there as well (okay, that's unrelated -- but it was on sale!)

I'm just gathering the last few things -- a change of clothes, advil, rub*a535, food and a bottle of water..... and then I'm off to bed. Only to wake up at 6am and continue the frantic pace of getting race-ready!

So I'm running tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. I'm not in the best shape, but I know I won't come in last ----- and I know there will be many friends cheering me on so it's extra motivation. Mostly --- I've come to the realization that this is 2 1/2 hours of my life (with any luck anyways) --- and I need to just put my head down and DO it. That's it. It might hurt, I KNOW it'll be tough mentally. But really --- this is a mental thing.

Physically and mentally I've been through things that are FAR tougher than this race will be. It's time to suck it up and realize that. And just run in for all its worth.

....the last two weeks just don't count anymore.
