Those Fast Delta Girls -- Supa Carol and Movin Sally got me going at 6 a.m. today, or maybe I should say they tried. I don't know if it was the thick humidity, or the list of things going on in my head, but I just couldn't make the 2:1 pace work. I managed an hour walking and called it a day.
I know this sounds strange, but I really kind of like our long runs starting in the dark. There's something almost meditative when I shut everything out but that piece of ground in front of me. Yeah, I know Chicago won't be dark but based on what the MM veterans say there will be plenty of street entertainment to keep me occupied.
Speaking of dark -- the 5 a.m. longrun will be here before we know it. Think I'll carry an extra set of batteries. Sunrise is 6:28 a.m. Based on Mark's 5 hour plan that's still a lot of sunshine coming our way. Maybe a cool front will have moved in by then.
Best of luck to everyone on Saturday.
And, Supa Carol, don't get too excited and try to work in some run time when you go down the aisle as the MOG (mother of the groom). Those fancy dresses don't have enough Race Ready pockets to carry your gels anyway. However, you might consider accessorizing with the Garmin. It could come in handy: "I'm sorry, my Garmin has a Bore Alarm, and it's telling me that it's time to move on."

If I get my run done tomorrow then I will ride my bike in front of of you will a spotlight. See you Saturday. Super Okra!
Great having you run with us this morning!
I disobeyed and ran the day of the wedding anyway. And I paid a price with some very sore feet and legs! But I had great fun anyway. Missed all of you guys.
