48 hours

So, only 48 hours unitl we line up on the trail for a 26 mile run. They are combining all running groups Saturday, so there will be 275 runners.

Today, I ran another 3.3 miles in California, and after a meeting this afternoon, I head home on a redeye. I am hopful to get some rest tommorrow and then I will go to bed early, ready to we run at 6.30 am on Saturday.

I wont be able to guage my pace Saturday, because they are slowing us down substantially. Where I have been averaging 13-14 minutes per mile, they will slow my group down to 19 minutes. It's all scientific and I trust the coaches. They have been methodical from the start.

So, I will hopefully be writing to you on Saturday Evening after a run that I cannot even comprehend right now.

Talk to you then.

Thank you for your moral support and financial support in the fight against AIDS!
