9/26 The DAY before!!!!

So far so good- Had a WONDERFUL morning in Seattle, good night's sleep last night, a fine travel up to Bellingham, and only one episode of nervous nausea before I drove the course (and BTW whoever I told the course was flat... I was lying! Luckily I have trained on a few hills this summer)

Tonight's work out was to run 2 miles, easily. I started from the hotel (which is not in the most character rich part of town but I am delighted to be close to the start and finish of the race) I set out at about 6 and was running by the Bellingham airport which is very small and as I passed by the grassy air strip a small Horizon charter came in for landing, maybe 3 feet over my head, 5 at best. It was really exciting. The sun light all of the clouds into a metallic light show above the ocean and its scattered land masses while it simultaneously turned Mt. Baker's snow cap alpen pink. The setting made me feel like no matter what happens tomorrow, everything is as it should be.

Oh- and I nailed my times...
10:15- and I am trying desperately to keep the wolves of excitement at bay. Drinking tea (herbal of course) and am off to take a very hot bath.

Wish me luck!
