Carbo-Loadin' TIME.....

Well Runners...the big day is near!

Can you feel it????....there's nothing like it in the world. This will be my sixth marathon...and yet, I can honestly say that I still feel all the pre-race emotions swirling around in my head...as intensly as ever.

RELAX....RELAX...RELAX....

I've been so focused on getting prepared (and getting my strained calf healed up) that I forgot completely about organizing a Carbo-load dinner for us...well...THANK GOD for Helen and Sue! I got an email this morning from Helen in which she and Sue volunteered to host our Carbo-party this year! Yaaaaaay!

Come one and all--bring your family and celebrate!

It will be hosted at Helen's home and here are the details:

  • Saturday, May 5th

  • Dinner will be at 4pm (so we can finish early and hurry home to lay in bed and stare at the ceiling)

  • Helen and Matt live at 190 E. Laramie Dr.

  • (4.5 miles south of the 431/341 intersection on 395 heading south towards Carson, left on E. Laramie Dr, last house on the right, # on the mailbox)

  • Spaghetti, bread, juice, and bottled water will be provided (you can bring your own pasta dish if you prefer)

  • If the weather is good, we can eat outside, so have the kiddies bring some balls and/or scooters...they have a long driveway & a big lawn for them to play on.

R.S.V.P......A.S.A.P....Let us know if you're coming, and how many family members you're bringing (so we'll know how much food/drinks are needed).

Come prepared to eat, laugh, and most of all...RELAX.............

Thanks for setting this up; you are awesome!!! The Angle bunch will be there and will bring along a dish. (I'm not sure yet what it will be, but I will not make it spicy) :)
