Marathon Update

Sunday, it's on.

I've been on the treadmill every day since Saturday (I took ONE day off, and that is it). My time has improved pretty much each time. Despite a painful blister on Monday, some new running shoes and muleskin have fixed me up just fine.

My friend arrives into town tomorrow morning and we will be driving the course right after I pick her up. I received a call from her this morning. Turns out she has not been training the last couple of weeks. I suddenly feel a little bit better about this. I won't be holding us up, and lord knows, if she wants to take it easy, I'll be right there with her.

We're going to finish it, no matter what. Our pact has been made. And do you know what awaits us at the finish line? Well, hopefully a small cheering section, but they are also GIVING AWAY BEERS. I think only one per person, but anyway. I just wonder if that is such a good idea with all that excercise, but I don't care...I'll be drinking that beer in about 1 minute flat. I may not have the fastest running time for this marathon, but I will have the quickest beer drinking skills.

Anyway, stay tuned for Sunday. I plan to post a play by play of the marathon action then.
