When Planning the Pre-Race Run Through

1. Set alarm clock, not just program it, SET IT! Oops. And as a handy back up, the cellphone needs to be set to something other than vibrate, just as a back up. And maybe I need to get a noisier alarm clock...

2. Know what you are going to wear on race day, every single item. And don't plan to dress out of the dryer, especially if you are going to forget to put said clothes in the dryer in the first place. Oops. I'm probably going to wear these pants, but maybe something else...

3. And if you get a call about the same time as the race is supposed to start asking telling you to open the store because someone else is still sick, just say, "Kiss my butt! I've got a run to do!"

Maybe, I'll get this run in this afternoon. Maybe, the rain will even stop. Maybe, I'll make a million dollars today. Maybe, I should take notes so I don't forget all the things I forgot last night...
