Buda Prep
Well, I picked up my race packet at lunch today - I’ve got lucky number 843. I also got a $25 off coupon for RunTex, which is pretty darn welcome at this point since I need to get a new pair of shoes to start switching out with for the big race anyway. I bumped into all sorts of happy people at the store too - Decker was close, but this is really the first race where only the more serious runners bother to show up. 18.6 miles is a long way.
RunTex did a great article summarizing the race if you’re not familiar with it. It also has some great advice for anyone doing a long race. You know what? I’m actually looking forward to Sunday. This should be fun. I just wish I’d remembered to pick up Gu while I was at the store… Now I have to go back and, maybe, get some more shoes while I’m at it.
