Half Marathon Eve

Tomorrow is the race. 

Yesterday Jim asked me if I wanted to go with him to our friend's vineyard and pick grapes today.  I told him I didn't need to spend a couple hours in the hot sun the day before a half marathon.  He said we could go early.  I told him the sun would still be hot.  We decided to pick grapes on Monday.

This morning we got up and he asked me if I wanted to go for a 15 mile bike ride.  I told him that I had not been on a bike in weeks and I didn't need to use muscles I have been using the day before a race.

He went for a bike ride by himself and I did runner's yoga, myrtle exercises and drank lots of water.  Normally the day before a race I have pasta.  Today we were invited to our great nephew's 2nd birthday party.  I had a turkey sandwich and green beans.  I figure the bread on the sandwich counted as carbs.  I skipped the birthday cake and desserts and had some fresh fruit.  I hope my GI system cooperates tomorrow.

I am not feeling speed at all.  I have no idea how the race will go.
