Today's the Day

It's 5:15 Sunday morning. I got up early to eat something, so I wouldn't run on an empty stomach. The race doesn't start until 7:30. Even with wanting to get there early, I've got a good hour before I have to leave. I slept OK, all things considered. It took a while to get to sleep, but once I did, I managed to sleep through the night as well as I ever do.

The weather might be a bit humid today. I need to be sure to drink plenty before, during, and after. I'm glad that I don't have to worry about keeping up with the elite runners. I'll just pick a pace and plod along. I've adopted John "the Penguin" Bingham's marathon goal: Finish the same day that I start.

Wish me luck!
