Big day tomorrow – the Falmouth Road Race!
I have my number. My clothes are laid out. I’m on my 80th ounce of water w/ plans for another 40 before the day is done.
For the day, my diet has consisted of:
- a piece of coffee cake for breakfast
- a bowl of pasta (no sauce) for lunch
- 1/2 of a cold cheeseburger
- a huge ice cream sundae from Chad’s (probably not recommended the day before a race, but today was a special Dad & Keely day)
My dinner plans for tonight are the rest of the pasta and some rice (with more water).
At this point, I still plan to run 14 miles tomorrow. I’ll leave the house around 6:30am and drive to the finish line. From there, I’ll take a leisurely jog to the starting line. If all goes according to plan, I’ll reach the starting line around 8:30 and do some stretching and lite jogging before we are pushed into our starting corrals @ 9:45.
I’m debating what I should bring for a change of clothes. The weather forecast is perfect for tomorrow – dry air, a high of 75. Originally, I planned on bringing a full change of clothes. Now, I’m thinking about only bringing a dry shirt and a pair of socks. I suppose I’ll play it by ear and see what the morning brings.
