Ok so today is April 24 and I am currently running a marathon in less than 48 hours. It didn't really hit me until today. This morning I had to go downtown and pick up mine and Nate's race packets as I was walking through mobs of people and sales stands ignoring the people trying to sell me their latest and greatest "energy drinks" and bars. It hit me that I will be doing my longest run ever. I know to some of you a marathon is just a walk in the park and you have many under your belt, but to me its a first. Defiantly not a last, its just the beginning of triathlons and many more. For now I am a little nervous for the up coming event. So all you runners out there or non-runners with great advice or words of encouragement let me hear it. I have heard a lot of things and I am up for more, I think the more advice the better. Lets hear it for the Kentucky Derby Marathon at 7 am on Saturday!!!(that would be 5 am for all you western folk) sounds fun huh!

Good Luck on Saturday! You should be so proud of yourself and Nate! That is wonderful!
Never ran a marathon but I suggest pacing yourself until you can see a little better how your body is physically doing!
Keep us posted on how you do!
.....I need to start running again, soon I hope!
Oh my, I am oh, so proud of you guys but that doesn't mean that I don't think you're, well....CRAZY!!!! It makes me want to take a nap just thinking about it! But you will do great and we're going to try to come down and cheer you on...we'll put Jones at the halfway mark with a sign, right?! Go Team!!!
Wow! Way to go guys. I've got absolutely no advice! But, I will say "Good Luck!" Let us know how it goes!
Good luck! And so soon after having a baby! I must say I'm way impressed and jealous too! 5k is as far as I've done in a race so I don't have much to say other than have some good tunes ready!!
