Long Beach Half Marathon Pre-Cap

Crappy night's sleep... at 2:30 got woken up by screechy laughing women, talking way too loud. Fully expected to see twenty year olds when I went next door to ask them to keep it down because some of us were running a marathon in the morning.. They looked embarrassed... And wished me luck. And most importantly, became silent.

5:25 came too fast, but now the lovely aroma of menthol is in my nose, that'll wake u up... and make your bagels taste nasty.

Am I nervous? Surprisingly. I should not have any expectations for today, but somehow I've put a lot of pressure on myself. Gotta just listen to my body.

I've rubbed tylenol precise all over my legs and taken 2 advil for my headache. it's 5:55, so I need to strap on my ipod, garmin and head out.

No expectations, Gena. Just listen to the music, and have fun!
