So, we're there - Start is at 7am tomorrow morning. Still need to pack, drive out to the beach, pick up the packet, and get some shut-eye. Ideally, do a 2-3 mile easy run to warm my legs back up from this past week of tapering. I think I may have tapered a bit too much -- between work and travel and home life, I have run 0 miles so far this week! That's paltry. Though I realize I'll make that up tomorrow in a big way. Still, I can't help but feel like I've unbalanced the taper in favor of carb loading

The forcast for tomorrow isn't great -- Sunny, but cold and windy. It looks like the temps will be in the 30's during the run, but the 15-20 mph winds will make it feel like the 20's. So I'm going round and round about what to wear. I think I'll take a trip to the local running store today and look at wind pants. The stuff I have is really better in less wind and I think that either the wind and cold will go through or they will act like a parachute (depends on which pair). I think I have the top parts covered okay, but may need something for my legs.

Anyway - here's my fashionista statement for tomorrow, subject to change up to 7am:

Underwear with  "protection" (keeps certain sensitive parts warm), tights (TBD) and shorts on the outside.

Tech long-sleeve, tech short-sleeve and a vest. Maybe a warmer vest.

Hat, gloves, long/tell tech socks. Oh, and New Balance MR1101 shoes.

The vest I like to wear is similar to a race-ready in that it has nylon mesh pockets sewn into the outside back and is great for holding all the stuff (like gels and Succeed) I pack.  But it may not be warm enough. I carry a trash bag in case I get cold, mostly before the start, but it could serve during the run too.
