I sit here with less than 22 hours until the start of the Equinox and well, I am a little nervous...
The weather forecast does not seem to want to go along with "my plan" It has been clear and in teh mid 50's all week. Tomorrow? High in the low 40's and 50% chance of showers. Fu@$! Wait, only 50%? That means there is a 50% chance that it WON'T rain, right!?! I have always been a glass half full kinda guy anyways...
Training in 90 degree plus weather for the last three months means that I will absolutly LURVE running in 40 degree temps....
Quick update on my life lessons in humility....
I live in glorious Savannah, Jaw-ja...elevation 4 ft above sea level...Seriously, the nickname fo my area is "The Low Country". I went for a 7mile run Wednesday, I decided to run the miles 9-12 section of the marathon course. This is the hardest section of the course; climbing from 400ft to 2200ft in said three miles. HOLY SNIKEYS!!! It took me 51 minutes to cover those three miles. What a beast of a climb...
The good news will be that once I crest the Ester Dome, 12.4 miles into the marathon, almost all of the climbing will be over...
Stand by for further updates and a full race recap. Thank you all for the support over the last few months.
God willing, tomorrow I will be a marathoner, one foot in front of the other, one step at a time.

watch out for cramping. people going from hotter to colder (or vice versa) climates. keep a close eye on your hamstrings and stretch out a lot.
Good luck dude, i know you are going to rock it and love it! I am soooo looking forward to my next marathon.
Best of luck!
I'll be thinking about you and your quest. You are going to do great. I can't wait to hear your report!
Good luck, brother!
Whatever you do, don't listen to Carolina Cletus. Just kinda nod and look distracted. He'll go away eventually.
