Thanks, guys.

re: White Castle – I can totally imagine runners loving the idea of a slider or two at mile 20! That could be an option right along with Gatorade and Gu. Dude! Write up a business plan!

re: ear slugs – Yeeeeesh. The nastiest moment of any Star Trek movie (old and recent casts). I always thought they looked like big earwigs.

Holy crap! If you want to see something freaky, dial up “giant earwig” on your google machine. Yikes!

Oh, and that thing you caught in your room. Are you sure it’s not one of those Ceti Eel things from Star Trek II? Bad news if they get into your ear.

Now that you bring up the hamburgers… As you say, you really want a big ol burger but really not the best plan. Maybe White Castle is missing an opportunity here. Those mini burgers might just be the answer late in the run. Can you imagine that? Runners clutching a dollar bill until mile 20 so they can buy a mini burger from the White Castle stand… No neither can I.

Fantastic, as always.

Crap! Didn’t see this comment till just now!

re: right of the Kashi bar? Just some eye drops. I decided to try wearing my contacts. I only wear them twice a year now, and when I looked at them the night before, the right one was completely dry. Turns out, I didn’t need them (the eyedrops).

re: nutrition – What you see here is just me lining up every thing that I’d brought with me OCD-style. I didn’t need/run with nearly that much. And yes, this race saw the return of the dreaded paper, pace-wristbands. Hope to have a full race report up over the weekend.

Ummm. What’s to the right of the Kashi bar?
That looks like a whole lot more nutrition than you’ve used in the past. Or am I wrong about that?

Thanks for the well wishes, guys. We’re staying Friday and Saturday nights, so I’ll be able to kick back all day Saturday (instead of sitting in the car all day).

re: 10k race – I like that idea of 10k at the end. The problem is that the year I broke 4 hours at NY, I really was a slave to my Garmin, constantly checking to make sure I was on pace. I’d love to be able to kick back for 20 miles and then ‘check in’ and kick it up a notch. I just don’t think I’d have the energy, especially these days. This running stuff isn’t getting any easier!

Oh and I’m going to make a couple of pacing wristbands to wear. That helps me a lot, and I completely forgot to do it last year.

Good luck this year!! I hope all the stars align and you kick the courses ass! I reread the last entry you had made and your thoughts of Dom and got choked up all over again! That is one fine piece of writing! God speed my friend!
