July 28

This morning I slept in until 10:30, since I didn't get to bed until late. In the afternoon I went for a 14 minute run with Sam, one of the guys on my floor. Sam has done a couple of road races before, but hasn't run much for a while. He's been playing on a rugby team lately instead. I was telling him about the city to surf race, and the 5K that I'm doing though, and he wants to do some races again soon. He said he's done the city to surf before, but not real fast. Most people that run it don't run it fast, and a lot of people just walk it. Sam was considering doing it again this year, but he said he's going to just concentrate on rugby for the next few weeks, then after Rugby tapers off a bit, he's going to find a race to enter with me. That should be fun.

This evening I cooked up a big plate of spaghetti for supper to load up on carbs, and I'm going to go to bed early. I need to be all rested up so I can be up in time to catch the bus in the morning. Sam said he's going to come along and watch the race, which is cool. We're planning on leaving here at 7:30 to catch the 7:45 bus to civic. We should get there around 8, then it's going to be a ~1K walk to get to where the race starts. I should have about an hour to stretch, warm up, and get ready for my race.
