Nancy--holy God on the forecast! NOW I am stressed. Everything else I could deal with. But THAT. OMG. I am going to m.e.l.t. Dripping sweat, that'll be me. And I hope that the every-other mile water will be enough. I mean, I never run with water here. For runs over 6 miles, I stash a water bottle in my mailbox, and even with that I only take a couple of quick sips twice (at miles 6 and 10). But that is here in the tundra.
Meg--I guess that answers your question, eh? I am going to wear my Goddess shirt, running shorts, and a throw-away tech jacket. Actually, it is the same tech jacket that I was going to throw away last year.
But I tied it around my waist instead thinking Liz might need it post race (she has, um, temperature issues. Let's just call it that
).
Okay now, missy. FIRST, normal people get cold. VAM - PIRE.
Second, it is not going to be 83 or 86 when we are running. It's morning. It will be like 50, then 60, then 70. By the time you are done, E, it will be 72 MAX. Trust me. Us normal mammals know our temperatures hour by hour! And I will show you the hour by hour change on my phone morning of so you are super prepared!
Bring extra scarves and blankets for me. Please.
I am happy when warm! Happy Liz! Remember, good friend?
Oh and Liz! Are you sitting down?!?! I started packing!! ME! 3 days before I leave! Ok, not packing, really. Like Nancy--gathering and stacking.
And yes, I have to have Jeff and the kids packed before I leave, too. Of course I do. Thank God it is just for 4 days and doubly thanking God for DVC and the washer/dryer.
I don't believe you! I KNOW you will be texting me, packing, Friday night as Nancy I sing on Space Mountain!
E, I am hoping to get acupuncture, but they were not open yesterday or today.
Jo - my office is open 7 days a week! You need a work around the clock acupuncturist like my boss!
But that's a great idea. I wish I was one and could help you.
Nancy - we rocked trivia and won! $50 a piece. I splurged on iTunes GCs to build up my playlists. I nailed questions on Toni Tenille and Chiffon margarine. Tenille sang backing vocals for Pink Floyd (The Wall) and Elton John (Goodbye YBR). The Chiffon question just confirmed I watched too much TV as a kid.
I want to make sure someone gets pictures of Liz next weekend.
Ronda
Way to go, Ronda!
Oh, yes, I will take pictures with my own camera.
Wearing capris, shirt, sneakers. Sweatpants, long sleeve shirt, and fleece throwaways. Gloves. Normal running hat. And if anyone will let me have a scarf, because my neck cold just cramps up and I'd rather be warm and loose. The layers is very dancer-ish, from my years and years of dance. Warm up, then shed.
Bloody hell!
OMFG I am SO pissed off. I just now slipped on the ice and pulled a calf muscle on one leg and a hamstring on the other. Ended up doing a bizarre looking split type thing. Not sure how bad it is yet...called into the house for ibuprofen before I even stood up. ARGH! Really, just ONCE I would like to NOT be injured for a race. Sure, I am untrained for this race, but at least nothing was in pain. *sigh*
Goodness, woman! This is what you get for publicly mocking your bestie!!!!
I would like you not to be injured, too. Although now we know how to rent EVCs.
(ducks!)
Back from massage. Very deep but not hurty AT ALL. Myofascial release. Try it sometime. I feel energized and not worked over. But well stretched. Loved it!
I can walk without limping...slowly. The second I pick up my pace, I hobble. 
Hi Rob! 
Never give up trying, right? 
Oh how I hate my skin at times. But most of you must be loving it - the temps, yes? 
I'm such a throw a few things in the bag at the last minute girl. The papers - I am organized with the papers of course. 
Do we get pictures? I love pictures.
