Gearing Up

Thanks for all of the birthday wishes guys. I had a nice day, complete with a nice dinner and wine :). Its going to a busy week leading up to Philly, so this will likely be my last post before I go. Looking forward to a pretzel and a good time, and hopefully a PR. Going for sub 4:09:20!

Good luck to JoyRun, Denise, Ted, who are also running Philly, and to anyone else I may have missed!





And for a funny spoof of the Rocky movie, I found this on You Tube.





Thanks for reading !

Hi Marci!

Thanks for stopping by. I'm excited about Sunday. I actually ran my first marathon in Columbus last year, but I'm just as nervous as I was then :)

Looks like you're all set for this weekend. Happy belated birthday and have fun on Sunday!

Julianne said...

Good luck at the Philly Marathon this weekend Marci!! Can't wait for the race report. You are going to do awesome. And woohoo for the sub-4 goal. That's my goal in less than 3 weeks!!!

Video was hysterical, but I found myself being concerned for the poor Frenchman buying beef from that store. Wait a minute - they are FRENCH. Never mind, let them eat beef that has been hit with boxing gloves used at the urinal. :)

Have a great race!
