Actually my goal is to run faster than 1:56:06 because that&#8217;s what I ran in the St. Jude half on December 6, 2008.

I think there will be a place to pick up some Gu at the Expo. I need some with caffeine. If not, I bought some a couple of days ago at Outdoors Inc. I&#8217;m also thinking of drinking a few cups of coffee before the run. Caffeine is supposed to help with performance. I&#8217;m willing to try anything at least once.<\/p>\n<p>I have off work tomorrow so I can relax. I&#8217;ll go back to work an evening later Sunday. I should be pretty jazzed all day.
