Its just about here. I’ve trained for 12 weeks for this race tomorrow in Allentown, and the final destination is almost here. I’m actually nervous, even at this point, about the race. I guess I just don’t know if i’m nervous because of the logistics around the race, or the race itself. I’ve ran this distance in training runs, and done long competitive races before, so I don’t think its so much the race, its just getting there, getting my packet, finding somewhere to eat, finding the hotel, making sure I get there on time, finding parking …………. ACK! I think thats it. I think the logistics has me.

I will get a 3 mile easy run this morning just to keep the legs fresh, I haven’t done any distance work now since last Saturday, and only racked up 21 miles since last Saturday (nothing hard except the race last Sunday). Things will just be hectic because I have to give a final exam in the class i’m teaching, get the family together (they’re coming this time) and get on my way, to hopefully get to Allentown by 5:30 to get my packet ….. UGH!

The excitement of the race is building up though, i’m remembering back to when I ran the Diamond run, and did the Ocean Drive 10-miler, its pumping me up. Well, I may write later on the eve of the race if i’m flipping, but I may not write again until after the race.
