Pre-run checklist promotes race readiness

I'm running in a two-mile race tomorrow. It's called the Gator Gallop, and it's the kick-off event for the University of Florida Homecoming parade. Prior to today, I thought I was all set for this mini-challenge. I have my new running shoes all broken in, my shin splints are under control, and I know I can master a two-mile trek. Then today, I got the reminder e-mail about the event. And it came with a little checklist I thought was helpful. Since it might prove interesting to you too, I thought I'd share. The checklist read:
We hope you have a safe, fun and successful race day!
