We All Go a Little Mad Sometimes

I am slowly going crazy
1-2-3-4-5-6- switch.
Crazy going slowly am I
6-5-4-3-2-1 switch.

This annoying childhood song pretty much describes me. I'm totally lost in that roller coaster of taper madness. I imagine I'd have been like this for the Princess Half ... if I wasn't distracted by fruity drinks, shuttle launches, rides, parades, food, expos, fireworks, etc....  But this time? Oh my gosh. You should all feel for Biker Boy right about now. He is new to my whole method of freaking out before races. The bigger the race, the bigger the freak out. 

Right now I can't even sit still. I can't concentrate. My mind is all over the place!

I've printed up 2 versions of e-mail confirmations for my race registration. I've printed up the finish area so that BB and I can pick a post-race meeting place. I've printed up the course map so we can see where a good spot is for him to cheer me on mid-race. I've printed up shuttle schedules. I've printed directions to Mazzi's for our bloggy dinner. Ooh, I should print my hotel reservation confirmation, too.

I'm just as mad as a hatter today!
And I love it!

Is it 5 o'clock yet? I'm ready for a little run.
Is it Sunday yet?? I want my bling!!

  4. Just think about what what-his-name from Coquille would do. Or was that guy from Bandon. I can't remember, I just know he had the crazy 70's porn-star mustache.
