Holy Mother of God...

It's finally here. Tomorrow morning we hit the road for Guerneville and the long awaited running of Vineman. It feels a little bit weird, to be honest. We all signed up for this thing back in December which, for those of you playing along at home, was in 2008. Two thousand friggin' eight! This is by far the longest lead time I've ever had for a race and it's messing with my head, man.

I mean, I'm not worried about the race itself. The horn will go off at seven o-freakin' early on Sunday and I'll run into the water with the rest of the numbskulls who paid money for this and sometime later I'll finish and they'll hang a shiny thing on my neck. Hopefully, shortly thereafter, there will be beer.

It's just strange in that unlike any of the other races I've done, this one doesn't feel real. I'm not nervous. I'm not excited. I'm just ready to go do it already, but there's still 3 more days to get through. Sheesh!

Are we there yet? No, wait, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Don't turn the car around...oh, damn it all...

So that's it 'til after the race, kids. See ya at the finish.

Good luck!

And hey, don't think about the stupid things you pay money to do. Otherwise you'll eventually end up sitting in a dark room wearing mascara and cutting yourself while listening to the Crow soundtrack.

I mean...cutting yourself is cool. And so is the Crow soundtrack. But the mascara in a dark room? If you're gonna put on some makeup at least let people see your "purrty mouth"

I left you a present in your shorts. You'll find it during the run.
