thanks to all and it's almost time....

Hi everyone,

As you all know, I have met and exceeded my fundraising goal. Thanks to all for your support in this cause and in my running.

We are now closing in on marathon day. It's scary and exciting at the same time! There is so much more to do and yet so much/so little time! (prep clothes, cheering stations, pre-race food, etc etc etc!)

I will be running with my two running buddies, Heather and June. Running the NYC half marathon with Heather was so much fun, I had trouble imagining running the marathon without them. It's going to be about being with friends, enjoying the scenery/experience and not being in too much pain. The only time objective I have is to finish under 5hours, which seems TOTALLY achievable. Right now, I would probably finish it in 4:30...

On that note, the IT band is still hurting, albeit all the stretching and icing. I guess God just wants to punish me. For what, I haven't figured it out quite yet....

Now is resting time. For all those in NYC, come by my place to hang out, but PLEASE, don't invite me to bars, restaurants, drinks, parties. Not allowed for the next two weeks :-( Only possible exception is Halloween next Saturday night...Somehow, I just can't let go that I won't be celebrating it this year!!

Guys, I can't wait. I know I sound like a broken record, but I just can't wait.

Cheers,

PS; here is a pic from yesterday's 11mi run - Brooklyn bridge. Heather and I both felt like we were bird flying!!!
