18 hours to rnr half!!!!

 
Aggressive Goal 2:08. Likely time 2:17. Worse case 2:24 on up....hmmm...might run with the 2:15 pace group for a while to see how I'm doing, then take it from there...45 seconds per hydration stop with gels every 4 miles. 
 
Supposedly there is a way to track runners online this year since they are using a new kind of chip.
 
I am going to get my packet today at 2:30 or so...then will go home and try to relax (with 2 hyperactive kids...yeah...right!).  HopefullyI will get 6 hours of sleep tonight...usually do about 4...
 
Tommorrow's forecast calls for mid 70s at the start...and humidity may be high...hmmm...it may be worth starting to build my electrolytes now.  For dinner tonight, pasta with marinara is definitely on the menu.
 
I need to load my running pack...MP3 player, 3 gels, 24 ounces of poweraide, id, $20, cellphone; then in my gear bag i need flip flops, towels, change of clothes, tylenol, maybe a banana, and a bottle of powerade...that should cover it.
 
I need to get ahead of the dreaded bonk...for breakfast, I will have a nice ham and cheese sandwich and chase it down with some powerade, followed by yogurt (calms the stomach enzymes down).  Then I'll carry a banana to eat about 40 mins before the start.  Of course, I need to drink powerade
 
From the start through mid-run will mp3 will be set to dancehall reggae (Surprise Riddim) for consistent pace discipline.  Late in the run, we are gonna to set it off with the hip-hop flava...Wu-Tang baby!! 36 Chambers and Triumph albums.  Plan on a strong finish.
 
After the run, might hang out for a bit (we do it every year, right?)
 
GOOD LUCK RUNNERS!!!
