Headlamp? Check. Batteries? Check. Running clothes? Check. Two Camelbaks and a handheld, just in case? Check. Peanut butter snack packs? Check. Shoes? Check. Full night's rest? Working on it. This time tomorrow night I will be running around Inks Lake State Park in Burnet, Texas. There's a chance of rain and the forecast calls for strong winds, on top of the triple digit heat, so it's going to be a fun and challenging saunter through the woods. Outside of work, today I have been focused on making sure everything is ready for tomorrow evening. I've done an hour of yoga to stay limber; I have constantly hydrated to stay fresh; and I have been a friend of protein and carbohydrates all day to be sure I have enough gas in the tank. In contrast to the last two races, however, tomorrow's starts in the evening, which means I will not be getting up for a 2 a.m. pre-race breakfast. Rather, I'll be able to get plenty of sleep and, who knows, maybe even sleep in tomorrow morning. Now, with everything packed and ready, it is time for a glass of wine and a movie to relax the evening away.
