I checked everyone's blogs and Barb was the only one who had a race listed for this weekend.  Am I missing anyone?

BARB!!!!

 

Good luck on the streets of Chicago.

Bring it!!!!!!!



Grazie, my dear friend.

I love it when you check three different weather forecasts and they all vary greatly.

Weather.gov = high of 74
Weather.com = high of 78
Accuweather.com = high of 81

Guess we won't know for sure until we're in the thick of it.

But I'm off to get my parents from the airport and then hit up the expo in a few minutes!

This will be an interesting race considering how undertrained I feel. I missed my 16. Then my 18 turned int o 16.75 because my calves kept seizing up. And then a moderately decent (but slow) 20 that felt good, despite having some pinched nerve problems in my foot. Mid-week runs were sporadic and speedwork nonexistent since July. Meh. I'm just going to have fun out there. I am fully anticipating a 6 hour finish. Oh well! I did it to myself.

xoxo,

GO #33305!!!!!  That's a lucky number!!!!  We're rooting for ya!

The weather is beyond your control.  Don't fret about it.  Just worry about the things you can control.  Go out at a safe ("moderately decent" pace and let the race-day magic take over by the end.

Finished my 15 mile run this morning. I can't believe that I actually ran that long!

Now, it's time to watch Kona!

Great job Barb. I have yet to break the 7 mile mark yet on the run. I did get in what was going to be a great ride this morning till I crashed and had to get a ride home. I will need a new front wheel and tire though. Of to watch some football/kona.

Oh I did a great job of that. I was at an intersection of two three lane roads when I crashed. I got a lot of attention anyways. My wife says I love attention.

I ran 12 miles.  I'm glad I'm tapering.  The funny thing is that 12 miles seems so short now.

Sometimes I can't keep up with this thread.  I can't imagine being on their team this month.
