Dreams

I've had a couple of stress dreams about the race now. Last night I dreamt that I ran the first half of the race and then, for whatever reason, I decided there was something at home that I had to do. The plan was to return and finish the race but whatever I went home to do took longer than I expected and then I looked at my watch and realized that I wouldn't have time to finish the race before they closed the course. Weird. I guess it's to be expected with only 8 days to go.

The weather is iffy for race day. I'm pretty sure that it won't be freezing like last year, however there's a good chance it will be raining at some level. This raises the question of how to dress. I've run in the rain before but always short distances (less than 5 miles). I don't have any kind of rain gear so I guess I'll just get wet. If it's not cold then it shouldn't be a huge deal. But it's all still 8 days away and who knows what the weather will really be like.
