The end is near

My marathon is on Sunday and I'm excited. My training the past few weeks have been lackluster, but I've been trying to keep up with it as much as I can. It's been a really long season for me. I've been training pratically since December and I'm more excited about NOT having to train anymore after this. I've decided to drop my time goal down to 4:30 - 5:00 and just to have fun with it. I'm also excited to actually run the course. This is what they have in store for us. (In case you forgot, this is for the Nike Women's Marathon)

- Coat Check at mile 2.5; check your favorite running jacket & pick it up after the race (We start at 7am and its probably going to be quite chilly in the morning)
- Oxygen bar at mile 6.8
- Luna Bar/Clif Shot Zone at mile 7 & 13.5
- Jamba Juice Banana Station at mile 10.7
- Ghirardelli Chocolate Station at mile 11.9 of the Half Marathon; mile 22.7 of the Full Marathon
- Pedi Care Station at mile 13.4 (I heard they have new socks for us to change into if we so wish)
- Cell Phone Zone at mile 17.8 (I guess for us to call friends and family to let them know we're almost done)
- Water Stops are every 2 miles along the Full Marathon and Half Marathon courses
- Cheer Squads, DJs and family cheer stations at 28 different locations along the marathon course; 13 different locations along the half marathon course
- Finish Line apparel and footwear shop at the Finish area
- Official 2005 Finisher's necklace designed by Tiffany & Co. and Nike Dri-FIT Finisher's tee at the Finish area

At least I know I'll have lots of entertainment and distractions along the way! Wish me luck!
