Less than 24 hrs to go

What can I say about today? It was a long one, started off, stretching, foam rolling, drinking lots of water, preparing all my stuff for the early start tomorrow.

Around lunchtime, called home to Ireland and talked to family and friends, who had no idea what a Nor'easter was, so that helped distract me from the weather threats.

Had dinner, steak, potatoes and veg around 2.30pm. About a hour later sat down on the coach for an afternoon of watching movies to keep me distracted. The movies lasted forever, as I ended up with a very upset stomach and spent lots of time back and forth with trips to the bathroom.

My cell phone vibrated endlessly with a continuous string of text messages and voice mails - which were great - I just could not talk to anyone as I could not stay out of the bathroom long enough.

I have to say I unusually have stomach issues the morning off a race, even a 5K and am used to that, I expect it and deal with it, but today's issues were something I did not anticipate or really know how to handle.

Kept trying to drink water, and ate a few yogurts before bed, but definitely a long afternoon and a little concerned for how I feel in the morning.

Despite all, I went to bed early and thankfully got a good nights sleep.
