2 miles today, 2 miles tomorrow, 26.2 on Sunday. The temps keep getting better for Sunday, but now I'm worried about what kind of system will bring the cooler temps. Friday high 90, Saturday high 86, Sunday high 68 (was 64 yesterday). Winds Saturday 10-13 mph from the North, switching to 16-23 mph from the West/Northwest. I can handle West winds as this race runs from the West to the East. If I get a tail wind, I might run a bit faster than expected. I'm starting to get nervous, but thankful for a very busy week that I've just had. I think I'm ready.

You're ready Russ. And if that wind's behind you, you'll fly. Stick to your plan and enjoy yourself.

Thanks Bam! My goal this time is stick to my plan, no matter what.
