Staying in Austin to go to the UT A&M hoops game w/ my Dad tonight at the Erwin Center. I hope I can make it up and more importantly down the stairs inside the arena! I'm very sore, especially my quads and ankles. However, I think I'm much better off than my last stand alone mary in 04.

Thanks to everyone one for all the inspires and well wishes. You're the best.

Race report here.

Today will be a complete rest day as Sarah and I drive to Austin this afternoon. I'm so anxious! Damn! I haven't been sleeping well. I'm normally not like this, but oh well. I know I'm ready, but I just wish it'd get here. I think I'll be better once I'm in Austin.

I've had a fairly busy, a good busy, but stressful nonetheless, week at work too. I'm sure that hasn't been helping my sleeping patterns. I hope to sleep well tonight, and then I'll know I'll be fine b/c the night before doesn't really matter.

Thanks for all well wishes. I should be able to post a race-report on Monday, if not Sunday!

3:28 HERE I COME!
