AM - 5 miles easy with 6 striders before work. Very warm humid and muggy again - can expect the same tomorrow morning at race time. Too bad, there is actually a cold front coming through late in the day tomorrow and early Sunday, and not today. Should be good for those in the half marathon and 8k for Sunday if the storms clear out before the race.

Anyway - I felt a little flat this morning so did some surges and the striders to notch up the muscle tension a bit to feel sharp for tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. Lots of friends and acquaintances running this year. Look forward to seeing them and hanging out afterwards.

Richie and I are heading over to the expo to pick up our race packets at lunchtime today. Read in the paper where Bill Rodgers and Joan Benoit Samuelson are running the 15k again this year.

I'm off work today so I keep thinking it's Saturday. I keep checking the race reports for your Gasparilla results. I'll stop now.

Thanks guys - looks like you may be finishing up your long run before I even finish the 15k here. Early risers!
