Carb Loading!

Today is the day before the Mississippi Blues Half Marathon and it is freezing! I mean it's cold cold cold... I made sure to get out this morning for a little run.  I wanted to prepare myself for what I was going to have to deal with tomorrow...

I ended up having to go to work for a couple of hours, which wasn't so bad. I went in about 8:00 a.m. and got to leave a little before 10.  When I left work I headed downtown to pick up my race packet.  I was so excited!! The t-shirts looked really nice and we got harmonica's! I was really excited until I was walking back to my car and busted it on the sidewalk of the Convention Center. I was so embarrassed! There was a group of 3 people walking behind me that saw the whole thing.  My I got up and hurried to my car.

Once I got home I just chilled out and waited for Teresa to come over so we could go out to eat and carb load! I decided on Olive Garden.



There were several recommended places to go downtown, but I wanted to go somewhere where I knew the food.  I ended up getting the cheese ravioli's and they were so good!  It was the perfect meal to have before the race.

Teresa and I went back to my apartment and played a little Wii and then I was ready for bed.  I wanted to try and get to sleep by 9:00 p.m. The race started at 7:00 a.m. and I wanted to make sure and get plenty of sleep. The predicted temperature for tomorrow morning is 18 so I went to bed thinking warm thoughts :)
