marathon eve! yeowsie! i blinked and now here it is. seems it was just like yesterday when we were off to arizona for spring break. i've been so busy at work lately that when i come home, i do nothing but watch some brain dead reality tv and yes, i am all caught up with snooki and the gang. i've neglected to keep you abreast of my training for weeks 4 through 7, and for that, i apologize.
it is 7:15 pm right now, and i should be hitting the hay soon--well after i eat my huge bowl of spaghetti. i am due to wake up at 2:30 am to eat my breakfast, get ready for my marathon ritual. will post all pictures and all the happenings after the event. feeling just okay. i am wishing i had more time to train. so for right now, i am just going with the flow. no pr expectations, i am just going to have fun and enjoy this inaugural marathon in my adopted city. in the meantime enjoy the photos of Jennifer St Bridge. it is the one spot i am anticipating that may give me slight trouble with all the acute turns--seven in all.
