Following the Yellow Brick Road

Well here we are in Kansas.  Four happy racers, all ready to rock and roll on Sunday.  Brett, Janet, Kev, and myself.  We are hanging at Janet's tonight in Manhattan, KS, and heading back down to Lawrence in the am to get all our pre-race stuff done.  It was a pretty good ride in, better than I expected, and aside from the truck tire blowout in front of us, pretty uneventful.  "Uh, excuse me homes...I'd really appreciate it if you could give me directions back to the freeway..."

I saw a finish photo from previous years, and saw that you run over a Yellow Brick Road at the finish line, which I think is just awesome.  Wizard of Oz has always been one of my favourite movies.  I've been watching it since I was a little girl, and I played Toto and a Flying Monkey in our high school play in grade 9 (though it was cancelled before we actually put it on).  I'm getting pretty psyched for the race, and though it is shaping up to be a hot one, it just is not humid here like back in the ATL, so I think it will be fine.

I'm feeling rested, and looking forward to the race.  Right now, I am heading to bed as I am falling asleep.  :)  Good luck tomorrow James at Boise!

Happy Training!
