I made it through the night and broke my fever. I awakened feeling OK. Luz's friends wanted to take us out for breakfast at Lori's Diner. It was so comforting to be with "familia" for a meal. They may not have been my familia, but that did not matter. By the end of breakfast, we were. Nana and her son Ed live in Sonoma, but have a time share in the city. They were wonderful.
After breakfast Luz and I hit the downtown shopping area like mad! We shared many sights, smells and sounds. We ventured back to the Expotique for postcards and visit the mass hysteria that it was Saturday. By the way, the temp dropped 20 degrees, Saturday was 64 degrees.
We hit Lush, H&M, the Westfield Mall, Lady Footlocker (I was so excited my running shoes came in a new color, just released!! I had to have them.) We tromped around downtown most of the day. I was getting really tired by the time we started heading back to get ready for the pasta party. We got back just in time to clean up and head to dinner. We walked to the Mascone Center to receive an amazing reception from our coaches and staff.
Again, I could not eat much. This was making for a very bad pre-race fuel. My stomach just said, "No. We're all done here."
We still needed to get our race gear ready for the 4:30am wake up call!
By the time I got to bed my fever was in full swing again and I was incoherent. Bad. Very bad.
