Marathon $266
Does that seem like a lot to you? Seems like a lot to me. Most of it goes to the NYPD to pay cops who are getting double time to work the marathon. So that's great.
I'm ready to run it. Training is over. Went well. I am relatively uninjured. IT bands are tight. Calves are sore. Stuff you would expect.
Ran my final 2.8 miles this morning. Threw in a quick burst.
Longest run was 17 miles. Did it in Central Park on the hills.
Did most of my training on hills so I think I am rather prepared for them.
Have a pair of shoes with only 20 miles on them. Comfortable and with a lot of bounce. Saucony Triumphs. Great shoe.
Have my nutrition game plan. Nothing new. No dairy. Carbs. Low fiber.
I also have a pee plan. yes, a pee plan. When I stop drinking water day of so that I will not have to pee over my four plus hour run. It is a vital part of my strategy. VITAL.
Getting a ride to the start line with the FDNY.
I start at 10:05
Bib: 26830
Wearing orange calf sleeves.
Have a bet that I will not loose to a co-worker by more than a half hour (she is fast)
On the day of the marathon it will be four weeks without a drink.
On the day of the marathon I will be drinking a beer post race.
Looking forward to a fun run. Wind and all. Oh, it is going to be windy. 25 MPH winds. Coming at us.
