Almost race day

I'm in Tempe, AZ as I write this entry. The temperature outside is a sunny, 70F. Today, I have to head to the race expo to pickup my race number as the race starts at 0730 on Sunday morning. I'll stop in at the local REI store to try on a new winter jacket which went on special over the Christmas holiday. Yah, it does sound strange that have I'm in Arizona checking out winter jackets. Tonight, I'll have my pasta/carbo-loading meal as the half-marathon will draw down my energy reserve tomorrow. I'm excited by the race and can wait to see how fast I can run the course.
