It's going to be a low mileage week this week. Just walking this morning. Race at midnight tonight.

PM - walked the dog over to pick up my race packet at the Rec Center.  T-shirt is not half bad (for a non-techie shirt). It glows in the dark.  If it cools off tonight and doesn't rain I may actually race in it.  I'm going to try a new light my sister gave me that hooks on the bill of my running hat. It pays to register early - my bib number is #4.

It is three miles from my townhouse - I think I will be okay. Thanks for the warning though. :-)
