Please remember to indicate my entry number 366304 and last name (Villette)

Other cool updates:

I made and exceeded my fundraising goal - thanks to all of you! Without your help and support, I could never have made it! You are truly making a difference.
I hurt my leg - IT band pain. I am trying to keep a positive attitude, but everyday is a challenge. If you have minutes on your phone service, give me a call. Right now, I need all the support I can get. Quiting is out of the question


I am aiming to complete the marathon in a 10:15 pace - here are cheering stations and times I will pass them. If you are in NYC, come by. Per above, I will probably need to be carried through the finish line. Bring out all your positive energy!! Please understand that I might come earlier, but most probably later at these stations. If you are coming, let me know in advance where I can find you (side of street, and all that). There will be nothing more helpful than seeing your smiling faces in the crowd. I can't tell you how much that has helped in past races!! I am blessed that both my parents will be there to cheer me on, but let's spread the love along the course :-)
Here is a link on cheering stations also:

Post race drinks - Lauren and I are doing drinks. You are thinking, how could I be drinking? Well, it's either a lot of liquor or a lot of pain killers, so my choice was quickly made!! Here is the address and time: Bayard's Ales House, 533 Hudson Street (at Charles) - West Village @5:30PM

Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to race day...
