Re: Spicegeek Goodluck

Just want to throw my 2 cents in here too. A first marathon is so special. Make sure you take enough time from all that serious running to just enjoy it. Great job on the training. Wishing you good luck, good weather and a great race.

Plan your run and then run your plan.

Re: Spicegeek Goodluck

Have a great run!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming,"WOO HOO!!! What a Ride!"

BEST WISHES in your first marathon~~~NYC!! It's been awesome to follow your training Spice! I'm looking forward to your report.

Re: Spicegeek Goodluck

For anybody who's wondering (and not following her on the NYC Marathon site), Spicegeek hit the 14-mile mark in 2:04:48, for an 8:54 min/mile pace. She's on target for a sub-four-hour finish. Go Spicegeek!
