This is probably the last post before the big day.  I'm sitting in the San Diego airport waiting for my plane to San Francisco.  It's windy and raining there, which I'm hoping will go away by Sunday!  I did the three miles on Saturday at 1:3 intervals and it was totally ok.  But my coach suggested I stick with 1:4 at the event.  With the hills and everything, she thinks I will really suffer if I try the 1:3.  She also said I will move faster just because of all the adrenaline and such.  I think she overestimates my ability to walk faster.

My stomach has had butterflies since last night's "send off" party.  I don't really know why.  It's not like anyone is going to be watching me specifically in the throngs of people.  And I already know I will be well within the time cutoff to complete the race, so speed is not a scary factor.  I don't really know what's making me so nervous, but it's definitely there.  Fortunately I'll be in San Francisco for the next week at a conference so I'll have plenty of time to get adjusted to the city and the weather and (hopefully) lose some of these nerves!
