Trail run in Rock Creek Park, feeling good.  Will is really sick... 102 temp... I hope I don't get it just before the marathon!!! So far so good, knock on wood...

I bought a car on Sunday, a little Toyota Corolla - so I am now part of the majority....

Beautiful day - let's hope we get this weather on Sunday! Six easy miles on the hilly trails of Rock Creek park - tried to go fast on the hills.... I think starting tomorrow I'll go super slow.  Feeling good... I wonder how I'll do on Sunday!

If I want to do 3:40 I need to do 8:27 miles... so on marathon day I'll try to keep that speed for as long as I possibly can...  I've been re-reading some of your blog posts on marathons you've ran... Bonnie, Kelli, Jeff, Mister and Mrs. Fit, Teena, Luz, Sasha, Josse, Michelle... some of you all managed to beat some serious obstacles and had great races, BQs or PRs... So maybe I can too!

Ran to the Convention Center where the Marine Corps Marathon packet pick-up and expo was... nice, lots of cool stuff, lots of people.  Those marines, let me tell you, they're so organized, respectful, nice, I love it! Got my stuff, some socks, gels, etc., and ran back home - did a little walking too, cause I didn't want to do too much only a few days till marathon day.  

I'm getting so excited and nervous! Monday I start a new job too... so much going on! I really appreciate all your encouragement messages guys! I'll need all your positive thoughts I can get on Sunday!
