Today is the Monument Avenue 10K. All the prep work is behind me, only the race ahead. Of course, this is not a big deal to anyone but me. The fact that I have 60 minutes of work over the next couple of hours is nothing I haven’t done already. My clothes are laid out, my number pinned to my shirt, and the schedule set. I have friends that are also running that will be here at 7:30, swapping their daughter and I. Their daughter will be walking with my wife and kids, along with others from our group. The best part for me is that I do not need to drive, park, etc.

It is supposed to be 50 degrees at 9am, but is only a few degrees cooler than that now. The only question now is how to stay warm prior to my 9:05 start. Once running, my body will be plenty warm enough. I will likely wear a jacket out today, but leave it in the car when we park.

So, more after the race.
