So, Friday…race day is now almost here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today, package pick up day…111 signed up, coming in to pick up race numbers/bibs, and their toques….

It looks like it should be a good Sunday….not HOT, but pleasant, no wind and the sun should be out…and the paved paths of St Albert will be filled with runners and walkers….and course marshals!

111….26 volunteers….and all, well…..I’m their race director!?

YIKES!

Now, it’s almost like getting ready to run a marathon….there’s absolutely nothing I can do or have to do before race morning…….nothing I can do to make anything better…….so just sit back and relax!

Yep, race package pick up continues tomorrow…..but, I have volunteers to look after that…

Sunday, wake up, and walk the course, put up al the direction markers so that no one gets lost…..

Organize the volunteers…..have the dignitaries make their speeches, get everyone warmed up…..then sent everyone on their way……take off after the race begins to grab coffee, cheer everyone in…..organize the cool down..and all then be done…

I AM TERRIFIED!

My first effort at this…..and I think I have all the bases covered, people in all the right places…..

I guess like a marathon it’s the nervousness of waiting for the event…..

legs are shaking……tired, and just waiting to get started….

Actually, it seems the best thing to keep me calm and relaxed and not obsessing…so tonight it’s back to Battlestar Galactica…… I bit the bullet and bought the DVD Box Set

I’m done with the Travelers….for now…it’s so good, it’s really hard to compare it to anything else

The writing, the story line…..so wel done…….

The coolest thing about the show is one of the actors is Mackenzie Porter, who’s also a singer…..

and a pretty great one too….

but yeah, the countdown begins………and now to find some way to chill….relax even.
