Re: I don't want to jinx it, but the weather looks PERFECT!!!

guest — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 12:59:31 GMT

I am seeing rain Saturday night, but Sunday looks clear, but highs in the upper 60s and lows in the lower 50s. I will keep my fingers crossed.

P.S. Nita, As I have said more than a couple of times, I am hoping to hook up with you and Kat and others on Sunday morning so that I can run with you. I know that we are meeting in the 4:00 coral, and I know your bib number and what you will be wearing ( after reading that last sentence, I am starting to feel a little bit like a stalker) ;). My question is how big (area and people) is the 4:00 coral. Is it realistic than I will be able to find you guys? Just trying to calm my first marathon jitters.

Re: Your goal finish time and bib number

My Bib number is 9116 and I am hoping to run along side Nita and Kat and many others. I will see them in the 4:00 coral. Thanks for the support I am absolutly sure I am going to need it. 5 days and a wake up.

Because of my daughters christening this Saturday in Stafford Va and then golf with my wifes uncles on Sunday had to do my LAST long run today. 8 miles at about a 9:03 pace. Felt pretty good and I am ready for the MCM. Nothing left but about four small runs. 9 days and a wake up until the big day. Good luck to everyone.

I am in. I will meet up with you in the 4:00-4:15 corral. I will be wearing a white shirt with my name taped on the front. I am going a little bit crazy waiting for next sunday.

Thank you for the encouragement, and yes the big goal is to finish but I am hoping for about a 4:10-4:15 time. It should be doable. Thank you to all of your for your advice and encouragement. I could not do it without you.
