glycogen. take advantage of the power raid and they do or -- the powerades and the goo, whatever your stomach is used to. kevin: you cannot start taking these off the bat. robert: you do not want gastrointestinal distress on the racetrack. kevin: thank you for the lack of specifics on that. coming up, we talked to one of the people putting the race together and talk about spots along the way for the spectators and the runners. that to you. sean: and you can use some of the goo on your harris well. do i have that right? kevin: that is not considered protein. that is the trick here. sean: fair enough. hayley: make it easy instead of having to carry it. erin: i always wondered how -- probably packs. hayley: the wind actually looks

the day. you do not have to worry at the commute time. we will be mostly cloudy them. once we get to the day tomorrow, we start out cloudy, but watch what happens as early as probably lunchtime. some very heavy rain is going to move in from the west. all of us will get a good soaking rain tomorrow afternoon. maybe some embedded heavier downpours and thunderstorms around the commute time. maybe slower going thursday evening for the com h on friday, we are back to sunshine. it is a quick mover. the rain is nice. still in the extreme drought. many areas coming away with at least half an inch of rain tomorrow. that will be good. mostly cloudy today. son with temperatures to the mid-60's in the southern part of the state. showers tomorrow, and very quiet weather as we get into the weekend. and cool -- and good for
