Finally, It's Time!

OK, so we ran two easy miles on Tuesday, and two easy miles on Thursday. It was weird running so little distance. But kind of nice, too.

Finally, tomorrow is the BIG DAY!!

The weather forecast:

The National Weather Service has said Middle Tennessee faces a moderate risk of severe thunderstorms on Saturday that could include hail, damaging winds and isolated tornados.

Seriously?? Well, we've run in rain before. But hail, damaging winds and tornadoes? This should be interesting.

I bought a light-weight, breathable, weather-resistant jacket at the Health Expo the other day, so that should help a little. The plan is to be ready by 5:30 a.m. The race starts at 7. Erin's husband is dropping us off near the starting line around 6, and he'll pick us up after the race. I signed up for race tracking, so some family members will get text messages as we cross mile markers. Pretty cool.

My worry is that we'll start off too fast, so I really want to take it easy - just like we do on our weekend runs. I just want it to be fun.

So stay tuned! I'll be back to fill you in on the details. :)
