6 miles easy on the frosty Hudson river trail. Felt good to just run, not worrying about pace, just enjoying the crisp morning blue sky. 

This was my last run before the race. I'm ready to rock.

Good luck this weekend!!!

Don't get overly excited early - stick to the pace, and run w/ lots of confidence in the final miles. No bonk!

Stick to the pace - check. Confidence = no bonk, got it. Thanks Jake :)

Hope you're getting excited!

Do you usually take a day off the day before the race? Just a thought, but sometimes it can make runners feel a little lethargic. But if it works for you, by all means do it!

You know, I had been going back and forth on this one. I think you convinced me though :) I'll probably just do a light 20 minute jog. I haven't tried it before, so I think its smart to be a little conservative.

And yes, very excited!
