Slow and easy.  I'm starting to feel like I'm not doing anything anymore--which is nice.  I get butterflies in my stomach every time I think about the marathon.  I know I'm well-prepared so I'm not nervous about being able to do it.  I'm just nervous about doing it.  I mean, all this time running and running and running some more and then the gun goes off and four, five, maybe six hours later it's all over.

yes, that is about how it goes. :) however, those four, five, six hours will produce a ton of emotions, experiences and memories that will last a long time.

those butterflies are a good thing -- just make sure they don't reproduce too much :) i like your confidence going into it -- you definitely have prepared well and the outcome will demonstrate all the hard work you put in to get there. you are going to do great.

Thanks, Allie. Congratulations on your race Saturday. To better your time from last year after sitting out with a stress fracture is pretty amazing.

I think I would be more calm about it if I could run faster. Can I get 26 of those fast miles at the Maverick or would I have to go to Costco to get that many?

Allie you're awesome!

Jeff- you better not be running for 6 hours.
