To Puke or Not To Puke

I leave tomorrow for Nashville. I am getting really excited/so nervous I want to puke. I’m going to save the puking for the middle of the race though. I ran 6 really hard miles on Monday, I slacked off on Tuesday and watched a movie, and then yesterday I ran 3 hard miles and ended with a 3 minute sprint. I probably would have gone faster on that last sprint if I was not pulling my fat dog behind me. She is getting so slow! She is totally cramping my style. So I have been eating a lot and I love it, except that I feel really fat right now, that is not helping my self—esteem. Hopefully I can realize that I have a sweet spirit and weight does not matter. I think I have gained 5 pound since I have been training. My thought was when I started this that I would lose some weight. Okay back to me leaving for Nashville here is what I am going to pack, please tell me if I am forgetting anything for the race;

Blue tank top,
Blue shorts,
Blue socks,
Running shoes,
Hat,
Sunglasses,
Sunscreen,
IPod,
Rain Jacket (70% chance of rain, SUCK!)
Running pants,
GU,
Motrin, and
a whole case of confidence ( I hope I can find it, I don't remember where I put it last).

Over all I feel pretty good about things, I am trying to visualize the race but I am having a hard time visualizing anything after mile 17. I hope I am not jinxing myself.
