Two days ... DON'T PANIC

Today's plan: Eat carbs, drink water, avoid twisting ankle or dislocating shoulder

Reebok sent me my new gear today and it looks amazing. Unfortunately the new running singlet and shorts weren't ready, so I'll be joggling in last year's yellow and gray kit.

The forecast for Saturday in Salt Lake is a high of 14C and scattered thunderstorms. Let's hope the storms scatter somewhere else during the race.

Thanks for fellow joggler Anders Kierulf, who also happens to live in Salt Lake City, for the link to this article in today's Salt Lake Tribune.

Four days to go

Today's joggling plan: 6 miles home from work (4 miles at marathon pace)

Yesterday I did an interview with the Salt Lake Tribune. The story should be appearing in Friday's paper. The reporter also interviewed Zach and the race director, Scott Kerr.

Conditions for race day look excellent for a record-breaking joggle: High of 10C, cloudy, 30% chance of showers.

Things should be interesting on the race course. The documentary film crew will have two golf carts covering the joggle-off, and CBC TV is planning to use a motorcycle.

Here's the race video from last year's Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon. The Joggler makes two appearances at 2:48 and 0:37.
