I don't have time for a full race report now, check back later tonight for full analysis. But here's a quick teaser about what's to come. First half of the course mostly flat/downhill, leading me to log a 10K time of 1:04 and change.

To get to the exciting news of the day: Under Armour.

It's no secret that I am completely and totally obsessed with the stuff. I think I own a little bit of Under Armour everything. Sports bras, compression shorts, tights for in the winter, the cold-gear turtle neck for under my soccer stuff, hot gear tops, etc. etc. the list goes on and on.

In general I always want to own more Under Armour stuff, but it's also no secret that it's expensive and a smidge out of my price range for the most part.

But peeps, that's where the good news comes: Because of an excess of inventory, the store is going to be lowering prices at its outlet stores! (OK so that's probably bad news for them, but super news for me.)

Here's a list of where they have factory stores (although maybe this isn't complete, I think the one I went to one time in Maryland isn't on here.)

Just had to share the fab news.

P.S. Under Armour if you want to send me stuff to use/test I will be more than happy to give you free publicity and write all about it!

Well folks tomorrow's race day, which of course means today was expo day.

My mom and I got to the expo fairly early. Picked up my bib and chip. I'm number 3132. Sounds lucky to me.

We picked up lots of free schwag. I love race stuff. Instead of getting shirts, the race directs were giving out sweet windbreak zip ups. They's nice.

I also got asjusted by a chiropracter, which was an interesting experience. I got my feet analyzed to look at where I balance and hold my weight. Learned some interesting stuff there.

And then we went to the Stick table where the guy rolled out my muscles and it was super cool. My mom snapped a not so great pic, but I don't have my camera cord here so all pics will have to wait until I return home on Wed. so I can upload them.

Anyway, speaking of the Stick. I bought one. A lot of you all seem to love them and so I convinced my mom to get one for me. Hehe I love my mom a lot!

In other pre-race news, my family and I are going to one of my favorite Italian places tonight so I can do some carb-loading.

This is a race you can run with your iPod which I'm pretty stoked about because a lot of other races don't let you.

The course is pretty flat for the first half and then there are about four or five hills in the second half. I'm feeling fairly confident in my abilities, but I'm a lot nervous about the injuries mentioned in the last post causing problems.

I hate the day before a race. I twitz out with nervousness.

Well that's all I've got for now. I won't have a post-race update probably until about Tuesday because I am going straight from the race in Allentown to a work conference in Baltimore that doesn't end until Tuesday, and sadly I don't think I'll have a computer/chance to get online until late Tuesday when I get back.

So wish me lots of luck. And of course good luck to anyone else who is racing this weekend!

Sorry it's been a while guys. I've been busy busy and just haven't had a chance to sit down and write a post in a while.

Here's what I've been up to.

We won our soccer game 3-2 Wed. night which was sweet.

Thursday I lifted and Friday I took a rest day.

Saturday was supposed to be a six mile run and I was super excited to try out the new shoes. When I woke up at 9:30 it was already a hot 80 degrees with the sun shining. That was unfortunate, but I grabbed some Propel and headed out the door anyway.

The run was pretty pathetic. I had to cut it off at 4.5 miles because I was getting so warm and lightheaded. But before that I had had to throw in a ton of walking. I probably ran the first mile and half, maybe two miles before I had to throw in walking.

My legs felt stiff. My calves were knotting up. It was bad times and I won't lie it sapped a little bit of my confidence for this weekend.

It doesn't help that I got really bad hot spots on my feet right by my toes. They are still there today and they hurt like crazy. I hope they go away soon because there's no way I can run a race with them like this.

Also my right calf is still tight and my right hip flexor feels weird.

AHHHH why am I falling apart the week before my race???
