Grr. Can't find the battery charger for the digital camera nor the power adaptor. No new progress pics for now. Maybe Paul can dig it all up when he gets a chance?

Speaking of Paul, kudos to him -- he drank more water than me yesterday and I think he's only had 3 Cokes today because he's been sticking to his water bottle as much as possible until he needs a caffeine hit. This is amazing progress for him. Go, baby, go! :)

We went out to lunch today. The restaurants in this area are truly disappointing for the large part. We went to Old Pottery and picked up a Beatles poster and we also hung out at Borders for a while. Paul got a GUI development book for work and I got Fitness Walking for Dummies.

I was tempted by How to Train For and Run Your Best Marathon but that can just wait. I have plenty of time before I start worrying about the realities of being in a race. The 5k ought to give me a better idea of what I might have problems with -- getting carried along by the crowd, pacing, food/drink needs, etc.

I was looking at race photos from the last one at Disney. Sigh. This weird mix of feelings ranging from thrills to paranoia to worry to fear. So what is foremost in my mind about it all?

Hoping for good weather come race day.

Today sucked. All muggy and humid and hot. Ugh!
