12 tomorrow

we worked it out. between 11:00 and 2:00 darrin and i will fit in 12 very hilly miles. after the first mile, the course is rarely, if ever flat. i don't know if there is another 100 yard stretch of flat ground the rest of the way. there are some significant hills, particularly between miles 3 and 7. i've never run this course before, so at least i'll have something new to look at. yes, it will be grueling. yes, it will be difficult. but i feel ready. i might not finish with the fastest time ever, but i'll finish.

the nice thing is since we're not starting until 11, i'll actually be able to sleep in a little. hopefully that will get me refreshed for the run. getting enough rest has been a challenge for me. i usually run weekday nites, then do some homework, so getting a couple of extra hours of sleep tomorrow morning is something i desperately need.

ok. well, i'm going to stare at the tv for a while now. then i'll dream about abusing my legs tomorrow. yeah.
