One day to go!

I expo-ed it up on Thursday (and PS, those artificially cocoa flavored almonds in the goodie bag were pretty good, I thought. Not to mention the multiple Gatorade protein shake samples I drank. Chocolate!)

I've been carbing it out all week.

This morning we had the International Duffy Friendship Run, meaning Kiernan, Mr. Duffy & I took a nice, easy two miles, with the ease of the pace dictated by Mr. Duffy's (who is not a runner) ability to speak in full paragraphs. Hooray!!!

Crazy agitation has given way to a mild zen state. I have lists for the bag to bring to Staten Island, the bag to give to the Duffy men to have for me at the finish, and the meeting spots and projected times that I should get to those spots on the course. I have all of my dinner supplies (see Queens Half, lessons learned.) I have my clothes and weather forecasts and race day nutrition and everything all lined up. All I lack is my Sunday Times for reading before the start. I am re-reading A Race Like No Other. I saw but did not interact with both Liz Robbins, the author of said book, and Bart Yasso at the expo. I am marathon-ed out.

Simply put, I finally feel totally ready.

GOOD LUCK!!!
