Wish me luck!!! I’m so excited. I can’t wait to get to the starting line, and most importantly, I can’t wait to cross the finish line, victorious, to myself!!!

Runner Tracking during the Race this Weekend
I was wrong about the map tracking. You can only track via e-mail. I guess it’ll send you e-mail when I cross certain points.

Just go there, create an account (as required) and then search for Filias. There, you’ll be able to tell it to email you when I cross the finish line, midpoint, and any other point (3 checkboxes).
The Map Tracking feature is only for spectators of the race, I guess.

Maybe being lazy last week was good?
Okay, so last week I ran 0 of 29 miles. Not sure why, just lazy, I guess. I thought it was going to be a big issue, but I’m one of those people that likes to “test” things. Well, after taking last week off, this week I’ve been putting in a bit of overtime in terms of effort.
I broke my record for 6 miles yesterday by 1m11s. Last year, on Sep. 24, I ran 6 miles in 50:56. Yesterday, 49:45, an 8:18 pace. I was pretty happy for myself. 6 miles is much different than 26.2, but it raised my morale, nonetheless.
These are my best paces, life to date:

And here you can see the improvements I’ve made, as a runner, on 20 mile training runs:

20 20 20 |

0:09:09 0:10:24 0:11:36 |
I guess I can’t use my iPod Mini during the marathon!
Oh well.
Can I push a baby stroller, use a walking stick, roller blade, take my dog, or wear a walk man?
We are sorry, but NONE of these objects are permitted on the course. It is against USAT&F rules and are a safety hazard and will be strictly enforced on the course.

Had a great 20 mile run this weekend!
Of the 3 marathon training seasons I’ve had, this year’s 20 miler was the best one, by nearl half an hour! I did my 20 mile run yesterday morning in 3:02:58, about 26 minutes faster than last year, and at a 9:09 pace! I’m pretty excited for the race, but, anything can happen that day!!!
