Too much walking and too little sleep

Woke at 3.30 am and rose at 4.15 to read and watch TV.  Headed up to the the Marathon Runner store at 7am for a 4 miler with the Saucony team. A good start to another warm day. 

I kicked myself for not hitting the streets with my camera earlier as the final preparations for the finishing line on Monday were being made.  I did manage tro get some shots of the tape marked FINISH being fixed to the road and bagged some T-shits and tags for the kids.

Walked the city for much of the rest of the day covering most of the area.  I can't believe how quiet things are until I return to the hotel. The convention centre was a human zoo with themajority of runners swinging in to register and shop.

Grab a couple of hours sleep at 5.30 but have to force myself out of the tempatation of back to slumber at 9.15 for double portions of pasta.  The weather's much cooler in the evening but still very pleasant.  My legs moan that I overtaxed them today.

Hope I can sleep through until 7 tomorrow.  Plan to watch the US Women's Olympic Trials, maybe some swimming and a lot of relaxing.
