"Wish Me Luck!"

Tomorrow I will do everything right.  I will start by sleeping in.  Then I will have a leisurely but generous breakfast.  I will dress appropriately.  I will stay well hydrated and I will even put a few bananas in the mailbox.  I will wear my heart rate monitor and focus exclusively on that indicator as opposed to time.  I will stay close to home and run only as far as I can without getting into trouble.

And I damn well better have a good run or I'm gonna lose my mind!!!

I have already pretty feel decided to forego my marathon which is slated for 4 weeks from Sunday.  I just can't see any possible way I will be ready.....barring some kind of a miracle tomorrow.  That may even be a good thing.  Certainly all of the experts caution against doing a marathon as part of your preparation.  For me it was more of a psychological issue than a physical one because that was part of my strategy last time around.

Wish me luck!

Your smile of the day.  I went into my giant test tube today with my underwear on, and they are decidedly not 100% cotton.  Fortunately I never realized it until I was just about done, or I would have been stressed out of my tree wondering whether I should tell them or not.  I don't know what they would have done but I suspect the protocol would be to shut down and take me out.  By the time I figured it out I decided to keep my mouth shut.  After all.....I never blew up!  Oh, and by the way, that has happened a few times around the world, including an equine chamber in Florida just over a month ago.  That explosion killed both the horse in the chamber and the technician running it.  Here's the story.
