This is it! Rocky Raccoon 100 miler!

Tomorrow morning at no o'clock Paul and I are headed off to Texas for Rocky Raccoon 100 miler.  Paul's my pacer and he'll be walking/running with me anytime after the 60 mile mark.  He's in charge of making sure I've got everything I need when I pass him at the main aid station.  I'll be meeting up with Lora who will be doing the 50.

Unfortunately, I've got a cold.  It's not too bad but it's not too good.  I need get everything together for the flight (carry on only) and sleep well tonight and everything will be ok!
