Pre race tune up on the treadmill at the gym.  Mixed in some 5k pace quarter mile repeats to get the legs prepared for not quite sub 5k pace tomorrow.  I always try to drink more water leading up to races so rather than risking forgetting I drank one liter this morning in about 30 seconds.  A couple more liters and I should be good to go.

Considering where I am now compared to last year I think I should have a pretty race.  Tough to say where my time will end up because I don't know who else will be out there but I think I should be around 2:25.  We'll see.  I am just excited that I get to run the full again as last year I was coming off an injury and had a miserable experience in the half. 

Bib #2.  They said they didn't give out #1 but that makes me suspicious. :)

Good luck to everyone else running tomorrow!

Sorry buddy - I told Mutai about the prize $. I think that's why he dropped out on Monday. He was running w/ his iphone and once he got an email saying SLC would give him bib #1, he bailed and decided to come out here :-)

Jake,I didn't see your message until now. If Mutai shows up I will just take a right on 45th S./23rd E. and connect with him on 5th east.
