7.5 miles. I am so excited.
I am washing my race clothes in preparation tonight and am taking it easy. I had to run to the store for some laundry detergent — I apparently lost a whole new bottle, which I didn't think was possible — but other than that I'm conserving energy. Ate a big bowl of pho, which may not have been smart, and two pieces of bread and jam since I'm all out of Milano cookies, which is also dubious. Also I'm charging my iPod shuffle for tomorrow. I cannot recommend the shuffle enough. It's light and doesn't skip at all and the battery goes on forever and ever. Plus they're on bigtime sale right now at the Apple Store. If you exercise, totally buy one.
I also found a product that is called "liquid bandage" which I'm going to put over the place where I had blisters. I kinda got them to the point where they came off right before the race. Which really isn't cool because now it's tender skin that's exposed instead of the tough stuff that was there. Still, my feet aren't really ready for sandals or anything. They're still pretty gnarly.
Once I run this race I'll barely ever run again and, if so, pretty much only on flat surfaces. I cannot wait to kickbox again.
Also, I did not go ahead and try to create a race costume as a faux superhero. It isn't that I'm too shy; I'm too lazy.

Good luck!
I started dieting in January, and I've lost 30lbs. I stopped exercising pretty quickly into the diet, but I've recently started taking hikes on the NCR Trail in northern Maryland. I have a friend who is big into running marathons in Baltimore, and I'm hoping that maybe by the end of the summer, I'll be running a few miles. If I ever am at a point when I can contemplate a nearly 8 mile run, I will be estatic!
