My brain in OFF…MARATHON in 9 hours 34 min

FREAK OUT!  Don’t think about it, not right now….where is the OFF switch for “Marathon Freak-out”? 

Ok. I am recovered.  My title freaked me out a little bit. I’m not reading the title again.

Wow.  I have eaten spaghetti for lunch and more pasta for dinner and a few too many cookies.  I am ready.

I still am not sure what I am going to wear tomorrow.  The only certainty is G. Money and my hat.   The weather is looking good starting at 51 degrees and going up to 63 by the end and mostly sunny.  The forecast for wind ranges from 14 to 19 mph, not too shabby.  I’ll take that over the 60 mph gusts that were happening on Thursday.

At this point I am suppressing my anxiety and I am not really letting myself think about the fact that I am actually running a full marathon in the morning.  I think I will just tell myself from here on out that tomorrow is like any other race day.  I’ll wake up and get dressed, eat my toast and peanut butter, eat some chomps 20 minutes before race time, drink a little water, throw some gum in my mouth, stand in a wad of people, wait for the guy to say “Go!” and RUN. And keep running….and run some more………and run, and oh yeah, run.

And for those of you who want to cyber stalk me there is a way….I am a little embarrassed to tell you but you can.  Go to the website HERE and click on athlete tracking.  Enter my bib # 3762 and Whaaa laa! There you go. 

Can you tell my brain is scattered?  This post was all over the place… I need to get ready for bed!!!
