7 days until the marathon

So, yesterday was the last longish run of my training. Both Steph and I got in 8 miles. It was really, REALLY cold. I think when we started it was like 39 degrees. Brr!!!

This week is the final week before the marathon next Sunday. We're so excited. Steph is running the Marine Corps 10k. The mary starts at 8:00am and the 10k starts at 8:20am. So, Steph will be done with her race in time to see me finish mine. Both of us get to have our pictures taken in front of the Iwo Jima Memorial with our medals as a part of the event. It's sooooo cool.

And get this. If you wear Brooks equipment while you race, you get to use their super-duper bathroom. It has heat, AC, running water, all the niceties of your home bathroom. How cool is that? Steph wears Brooks shoes and running skirts so she'll get to use the super-toilet, while I get to suck it up with the rest of the idiots who wear other gear. Maybe I should borrow one of Steph's skirts :) Ugh!!

Next week is 3-4-2-->26.2.

Woot!!
