Last Run Before the Marathon!

Training is officially complete! A lot of excitement in the air!!! So, much so, I just can't think of anything to say!

Just looking at this picture of last year's start (10,000 less people than this year) makes me get excited! Can you imagine? I can't!

Getting Excited!

The excitement is building for Sunday! I think we are all getting excited despite the weather forecast (low of 62 and high of 79). And it seems to get warmer each day. The good news is that the wind speeds are decreasing. But a Larry says - don't worry about the weather since it is the one thing you can't control.

Yes, the excitement is building, but I don't think we will match the level of excitement in the video below. Of course, if Mike was running with us - I think we might.

4:40 am

When my alarm went off this morning I truly could not remember what I had to get up for. My wishful thinking must have been taking over my mind. Unfortunately, the rain I had hoped for (as always) did not materialize and the radar didn't show any in the vicinity. So, off I went.

It was warm today. I was over dressed. Not as much as Jenny, thankfully, but none the less one of my least favorite things is to be over dressed. It is different then running in hot weather when you can't really do anything about it. But being overdressed - it is just being stupid. Not that Jenny is more stupid than me.... ;-)

The day of the marathon WAS looking good. Mike had to ruin it by asking me what the wind was predicted to be. So, of course I had to go and check. The bad news is the forecast has changed since I looked last night. The good news is that there is plenty of time for it to change again.
