OK here we are....



Egad, i feel pumped but man it's effing hot here. and humid....



new plan for tomorrow, run fast to finish early and beat the sun. To steal a quote from Out-of-shape-guy Mike...."i'm thinking 2:15" should beat the sun.



Speaking of....i ran into Mike and Barb at the Expo. So while i will be missing the post run party, it was nice to chat and wish well to each other.



Pre-race jitters, you bet.....good luck to all Chicago and Twin Cities Runners i have stalked and been stalked by....



i wonder if i'll get a pre race 5:30 am post in this marathon????



Thanks again to all the friends and family i think about when running..... Trust me...it's a long ways....i have a lot of time....if you think you are on the list....you are....



Let's hope i don't wilt in the humidity.....



thanks for reading
