Yes, it will encompass an entire weekend, not just the 5-7 hours I’ll be spending on the course on Sunday morning.
Tomorrow my buddy Lane gets here (he’s the one that got so sick earlier this year) and he’ll be staying here with me and doing the 10K. Chippy & Trixie are coming for dinner tomorrow night as well - nice that the baked potato soup makes a TON.
Poor Lane is going to get dragged all over town tomorrow afternoon, cause I realized once I got home, I missed a couple things for the soup when I did the marketing, plus I have to go by the wine shop and pick up a case of wine, and with 2 more for dinner than I originally thought, some bread might not be a bad idea.
Then Saturday is the traditional pre-race-day breakfast out, then packet pickup and the expo, then about 10 of us are meeting up for dinner Saturday night at some Italian place over in Arlington (thank god we were able to get reservations, otherwise there is a good chance I’d be cooking for all of them) and then Sunday morning, it’s off to the races!
