Something Different for a Saturday
Usually Saturday involves getting up very early to do a long run. Today, I got to sleep in. I'm not sure the last time I did this. It felt really strange, in fact, today felt more like a Sunday than a Saturday.
Last night I went over to S's house and we watched Troy. It was OK, but not all that great. There were a few too many story lines going on to follow. The color of Brad Pitt's hair looked really unnatural as well. On a side note, we both decided that hot men should walk around half-naked in skirts more often :) We relaxed and each had a glass of wine to unwind from a long week. It was a really relaxing evening. It was drizzling on my way over and snowing on the way home! The forecast was calling for that, but it did not accumulate.
This morning I got to sleep until the late hour of 8:30. I waited a little while to head out the door on my easy shake out run. I think I ended up with about 5 miles total. I felt funny for about the first 5 minutes, then I got into a bit of a groove. I put on way too many clothes and had to take some off because I was too hot. I tried to go around the same time as race time to simulate the conidtions for tomorrow. If the weather is anything like today I should be in good shape. I did my morning out and back 4 mile course with a few extra loops on it to make it a little bit longer.
I did some errands today including buying tube socks to use as arm warmers tomorrow. I could splurge on the real thing, but these are cheaper and I can throw them out if I get warm. I have to pack my bag for tomorrow with lots of extra clothes to put on after. C is supposed to save me a green beer from the Hash House water stop for after the race, but that may not be such a good idea. Oh well, off to bed soon. I'll fill y'all in on the details tomorrow.

I'm not sure you're qualified to use the term "y'all." I think that's a term specifically reserved for those of us south of the Mason-Dixon line. I'm afraid you'll have to use "you guys" from now on out.
Hope the race went well this morning! I guess it's too late to wish you luck ... jts
