Eve of the Palm Beach Marathon

It's tomorrow. Well, not really IT. IT is really happening on January 28th, 2007. That is when I run the FULL 26.2 miles of the Miami Marathon. Tomorrow is when I am running the Palm Beach 1/2 marathon. I have been a little nervous leading up to to today. However, my stomach has gone a little weird in the past 30 minutes. I think it's the realization that I am leaving my apartment and traveling two counties away to run a race. I don't know the course. I will be sleeping somewhere else. It's my first long distance race. I know I am going to be forgetting something even though I've triple checked to make sure I have everything. I've packed my running shoes, shorts, shirts, and other paraphernalia that non-runnners won't understand. My Garmin, my stick of glide, water belt, gu's. I think I have it all, but still I know I will get to Palm Beach and realize I forgot something. I will be done by 9am tomorrow morning. That's the plan at least. By 9am tomorrow I should be sporting my very first marathon medal.
