AM showers on Sunday?

Weather.com is calling for AM showers. Hopefully they'll be gone by the 7am start. I'll be bringing a Hefty bag to hide in until race time just in case.

The fitness index is still a 9 so I am hoping for a great day. The high is 71 degrees, low of 49. It's probably going to be overcast so I think it'll be good race weather for most of the time I'm out there.

I'm feeling pretty nervous but I don't know why I'm letting myself get worked up over this race. This is just for fun and unless I fall again and really hurt myself I will have no time improving on my marathon PR. This is about FUN.

PhillyFit starts tomorrow so I'll be getting in one more 3 mile run before the marathon. I expect it to be a very slow easy run. No matter what I'm staying in the red group so going fast really won't impress anybody and it can only hurt me. Slow is the key.

I got a very dorky CD at BJs the other day. Mousercise by Disney. It's pretty awful but it does have the version of "Go the Distance" that they play at the start of the Disney Marathon. That song alone makes me want to sign up for the Goofy Challenge even though I know we're going to Phoenix in January not Orlando.

My friend Char is doing the half marathon in Cleveland this weekend and she's cooking up all kinds of schemes for the fall season. She wants a big gang to do the PDR then follow up with Baltimore Half and the NYC marathon. We'll see!

Tell Char to add Virginia Beach to the list!
