Jaba, I keep her company and attempt to keep her out of trouble. I have my days and nights mixed up too, then days like today I have to get up all early for an interview.. blargh. Wish me luck.
Good luck on the race Marybeth, I agree, maintain a steady pace and don't worry about time. I couldn't do one. I'm only able to get my large rear in motion for about 8 or 9 miles total in one stint. And my feet really don't like that afterwards.
