Training done . . .all that's left is the shootin' match

2 miles last night.

Most body parts feel OK . . .left hip is a little pissed but other than that . .

Nothing left to do now but RUN.

Spaghetti tonight.

Going to Quad Cities tomorrow to pick up packet.

Ton of friends sending me texts, emails and calls.

I have NO idea how I am going to do this.

Here's the plan:
GELS     45 minutes before . . . .mile 4.5    mile 9      mile 13.5          mile 18            mile 22.5
(going to my "running buddy's" store tomorrow morning to buy my FINAL marathon Gels - - -gooutsideandplayrunningshoes.com) . . .
                                                                         6 gels at $1.40 = $8.40

WATER  20 ounces every 6 miles with 1 NUUN tablet at every fill up
 mile1-6 20 ounces/1NUUN    mile7-12   20 ounces/1NUUN     mile13-18 20 ounces/1NUUN                   mile 19-24 20 ounces/1NUUN
                                                                80 ounces water / 4 NUUN                                                         

BATHROOM
Whenever I have to!
Running 26.2 miles is going to be tough enough . .I'm not going to be miserable by trying to put it off! Not like I am going to be setting any records anyway. . .

LYRICS TO MY MARATHON THEME SONG BY COLDPLAY (if you don't know it . .listen to it)
   
          LOST
Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I would cross

Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get
What I deserved
No better and no worse

I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause a long may come
A bigger one

And you'll be lost
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting until the firing stopped
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

(piano solo)

Ohhh and I...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Ohhh and I..
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

MORE LATER . . .
