2 more days till my Marathon! One more day of work. I took off Friday so I can go to the Expo and get my number (#352 baby!) and swag. I don’t plan to spend more than a couple hours at the expo, I wanted to see one of the speakers. I don’t plan to spend more than 20-30 minutes on my feet at the expo.

I’m trying to do everything right for this race. I don’t know if it’ll be my last one or not. If you’d have asked me two weeks ago, I would have said “No way am I doing another one of these things!” But now after tapering I’m going insane because I feel like I’ve hardly run in a week or two. I expect at about Mile 20 of this race I’ll be of the “No Way” mindset again; But we’ll see. I promised myself I wouldn’t set any new goals till after Christmas.

If anyone is interested: On Saturday Morning you can track my progress by putting my name or number (I think?!?) into the ‘runner tracker’ at the St. Jude Website. It will supposedly give you updates on some key splits (5k, 10k, half) as well as a projected finish time. The race starts at 8:00am I’ll likely be crossing the start line sometime around 15-20 minutes after that.

Oh, and I know it’s lame and all, but I don’t care. I bought one of those 26.2 stickers for my car. I haven’t put it on yet. But it’s going on Saturday (Assuming that I finish). I got a red one to match my car.
