<p>Hey! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tomorrow morning is the 10k and 5k that I am co-chairing. My main role in this race has been to get registration numbers up, and so far we are running about 37% ahead of last year at the same time. Woot! The weather forecast is terrific after 3 weeks+ of gray and dreary with outbreaks of violent t-storms, so we are expecting raceday registration to soar, as well. The only thing we are worried about is that the Hudson River is currently rising and flooding over its banks just north of the northern reaches of the course, and the next low point on the river is around the 2-mile mark of our out and back course; so, we could have some water or debris on the course Saturday morning, but we're trying to find a way to work around it. Maybe it'll be an impromptu Triathlon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yesterday was a rest day and today will be my Race-Day-Eve workout: 3 to 4 miles at 10:00 pace, with 4 to 6 100m striders embedded in the 2nd half of the run. This workout doesn't quite get me to the areas that may now be flooding over, but if I do go far enough to survey the area, it'll be too much of a workout for one day before a 10k in which I want to do my best. I have run this race a few times in the past, and don't expect to PR (43:51) but would like to break 45 again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The most rewarding part of tomorrow should be the 5k, after I complete the 10k. I sponsored 5 new runners for this race and am planning to run the 5k with them, bouncing from one to the other. My wife will also be part of the field, but I don't expect to be able to keep up with her. </p>
