My Big Oops

This morning while I was on my way out the door, already wearing my bike helmet and backpack (that's right, I'm very cool), I looked at the mailing Dave had gotten from the Shamrock Sportsfest. "Hmmm," I thought, "Why would they have the expo on the same day as the race?" So I read a little bit more and noticed - DUH! - the race is on SUNDAY not Saturday, as I've been thinking for seven months.

I was freaking out all morning, worried that I wouldn't be able to get another hotel reservation. One of the clinic ladies and her major attitude wasn't helping either. Of course, everything was fine - I did find another room. Now, hopefully, we will be able to work out our work schedules and have our animals babysat. What a doofus!

Friday's workout:
3 miles
6 x 20 second strides

Saturday's workout:
1 hour 30 minute run

Sunday's workout:
1 hour run
3 x (12 push-ups, 15 curls)
Back series
150 crunches

Today's workout:
2 miles easy
4 x 1200m at tempo pace with two minutes of rest
2 miles easy

You're such a goof :-)! So glad you figured that out early enough to iron out plans! I'm so excited to meet up with you - are you still going Friday? I was kind of hoping Saturday wouldn't be an issue because we'll probably be beat on Friday.

I got my official bib number in the mail and corral assignment - I'm in the slow people pit. Hopefully they will let me move up to the next corral up so I'm not stuck in a bin full of walkers. I'm going to try for 2:30 I think. I did 11 Saturday in 2:17 (funny story to follow on my site) so I'm sure 2:30 is attainable (or, am I nuts?).

Shouldn't be a problem meeting on Saturday. Did you get my e-mail with phone numbers and all?
