Majorly kinked the right side of my neck/upper back.  Have no idea how, just woke up that way.  Happy Birthday Mom!  So much for my diet considering I just made her a giant chocolate frosted yellow cake!  Have mixed feelings about the marathon in less than 2 weeks.  My first thought is nervousness and anxiety because I feel like I havent trained hard enough.  But according to Hal Higdon, whose intermediate plan I tried to follow but ended up skipping about a day a week so it was more like I followed his beginners plan, it IS enough.  To finish anyways.  And that was my initial goal, right?  I haven't acquired any injuries...  I ran my last 20 miler practically non-stop, minus 2 gatorade stops, and that increased my confidence... My diet... well it's not that it lacks nutrition, its just that I pig out on sweets as well as healthy food.  I mean I really am a glutton, I probably eat 5000 calories a day, easily.  I could stand to lose 5 pounds, to put myself below 100, but I'm just so hungry all the time.  Anyways, overall I feel confident that I can finish.  The beginning of an era I believe.  Can always increase my mileage for the next one.  I CAN DO THIS!
