Marathon Weekend

It's here, and while I won't be running, I will be surrounded by them for hours. I'm volunteering this year, and have been assigned (yes I asked for it!) to work at the Starting line o Staten Island. That means I have to catch a bus on the upper east side at 4am tomorrow, and won't be done until late morning. The main perk to taking the early shift is that they give me a bus ride back to the finish line as soon as I'm done, and a bleacher pass to watch the finish! Pretty cool, and will give me a view of how it all works that I won't get any other way.

I'm still determined to run it as soon as I can get in. I've been out of commission with a chest cold/congestion for a week, and can only imagine how I'd feel if I was due to run in the morning. I have to get more regular about my training if I'm going to have a chance.
