My sea legs are showing. \u00a0I slept fitfully last night, my body unaccustomed to a non-water based bed. \u00a0I wonder if I had a water bed if the transition from ship to shore or shore to ship would be easier. \u00a0This morning I felt my shower swaying … only to realize it was stable and I was the one wobbling with sense memory of the motion of the ocean.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve driven up to North Carolina for the City of Oaks Marathon tomorrow morning. \u00a0The bib pickup was quick and painless…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if it counts as Hashtag Winning to get carded when they check everyone\u2019s for post race beer garden access, regardless of the number of our grey hairs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t really remember how to do this. \u00a0This happens sometimes when I haven\u2019t raced for a few weeks, which is crazy. \u00a0But I\u2019m trying to recall the ins and outs of marathoning. \u00a0I packed light, just stuffing some gear into a backpack as this is quite literally an overnighter. \u00a0Raleigh tonight, run in the morning, back home by night. \u00a0But sometimes I forget things when I go light. \u00a0I can\u2019t remember if I have my garmin watch. \u00a0I think I tossed it in from my luggage. \u00a0Huh. \u00a0Maybe I\u2019ll just wing it.<\/p>\n

I stepped on the scale this morning and despite my palindrome challenge I lost the waistline war and gained a few pounds. \u00a0That\u2019s to be expected but I was hoping it\u2019d be less of a net gain if that makes any sense. \u00a0I foresee a lumbering 26.2 miles in my running crystal ball future. \u00a0Sigh.<\/p>\n

On the plus side, I gain an hour with daylight savings. \u00a0I only wish we were starting at 1:59 am tomorrow<\/a> so I could shave an hour off my time. \u00a0But part of me fears even with that advantage I might not be able to BQ in the shape I\u2019m in!<\/p>\n

The clock is always running….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
