Tomorrow is the race!
Today I am upping my ibuprofen. Bought some super sunblock for my face and some sunglasses that are more aerodynamic/less fashion. Usually I run in my glasses, but I think I'll actually shower and put in my contacts since the sun should be shining. My clothes are set out. My diet today is healthy and I'm doing lots of hydrating and stretching.
Gotta charge up the GPS, iPod, and get out the "Gatorade belt". I'm really no good at the water stations.
Tonight I'm attending a Lenten retreat, which will happily take my mind off 13 miles of running.
I'm mostly scared of knee pain right now. I'm wondering if I can draw on the same strength that got me through labor four times to get me through hours of running with one knee on the fritz. That's my hope. Self-talk will be my savior or my doom.
Godspeed.

I can't wait to hear how you will do! I'm sure you will be great! Sounds like you are very prepared and know all that you should be doing. I'll be praying for you.
I went out for jog yesterday. I only did about 10 minutes of running and 20 of walking. I can't imagine hours. But I know you've been working up to this. Yesterday was my first time out in YEARS!

I'm telling you, I've got $20 down at Caesar's on 2:24.37!

I too will be praying for your big day and anxious to read your post! I'm sure that knee will hold up and I wish you the best!
