No running today, I'm thinking this will be a good thing. But I had to share a fun story that just happened to me.
I went down to the expo to pick up my race packet on my lunch break. The usualy drill of getting your bid... move to the next line and get your drop bag and shirt...move to the next lin to get your timing band. So I handed the lady my bib and she typed in the number to swipe the timing ship, your name pops up on the computer. She looked at me and said... You are Lori Metcalf? I said Yes... She said it's nice to meet you... you are my race nemesis!! I guess I was always just ahead of her at all our local races. She said even when she didn't race she always checked the results to see if I had run and what my times were. I was very flattered. I know we call have people we compete with at races (For my Alison Brumwell) but never thought in a million years I could be some ones race nemesis.

Well after work I will meet up with Marion, and Carolyn to have dinner. Also my running friend and her husband. Hopefully my husband will make it... but it looks like a crazy day for him so it is doutful!

I have had butterflies more this year then I have in the past... don't really know what that's all about. But I will take a deep breath and try my best... but most of all try to have a good time!

Could it be that you are running with so many friends from this site? I think racing with people I know makes it even more nerve-wracking. I didn't talk to a soul at SLC and I felt ok, but I was very nervous at the FRB 10k two months ago with all my family around. Maybe its just me.

Oh, and that "?" you have next to Top of Utah Marathon in your profile . . . change it to a firm yes. I just signed up and would love company. I've talked a few family members and some friends into running, but except for one of them they are running the half.

Good luck tomorrow. I have a friend who lives in Pleasent View and is running her first marathon at Ogden tomorrow! Small world.

That's a funny story. Go you Nemesis! Have a good time!

I think all good nemesises should wear capes. Or is that only for arch nemesises.

Monte, I think a cape would be wicked!! I'll have to see if I can find one! ;)
