I feel the need, the need for   NO RUNNING OR EVEN LEAVING MY HOUSE AGAIN today.   I think this weather is casting a spell on me.  I so am not wanting to revisit that memory.  I think I will watch Anne of Green Gables  all day and put up Halloween Decorations after I have a long warm bath.  Oh and carb load of course, but I am not interested much in food.  How can that be?  I had enough excitement being the carpool driver for my daughter and her four friends and the gas meter reading "0".  Got literally 10 feet from the gas pumps after stalling out three times on the way there.  Got pushed into place by two nice young men.  How embarrassing as I was in my pajama bottoms with a running shirt.  See how cold weather even zaps the last of the fuel out of your car?  Usually if it hits zero while driving we have more time.  I better pay heed to this warning and FUEL up even if I am not hungry.

May I make a suggestion? Forget about Ann of Green Gables and go with the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice. Not only is it WONDERFUL, but it is 5 hours long and will last you through your decorating day. And yes, I am a guy. My wife and I love P&P.

Oh yah I am running SGM. My body just caught up with my brain and is beginning to crumble (pretending it is dying or something). I feel nauseous, lightheaded, achy all over, basically premarathon voodoo. Three days of this is going to be a treat : D. As far as pace, I think 3:15 is where I am at. My friend Kim thinks I should run with her a 3:05 pace (I think that is why I am getting sick)....so I think I will hang with your awesome windbreaking group. I will try to locate you all or call the night before. No worries I will be there somewhere.

Premarathon voodoo go away! You will be fine! On race day you are going to be strong, fast, and tapered!
