Thanks everyone. We arrived and I am going out in a few to run my 2 miles. I opted to run here instead of waking up real early. I like the carb loading though!! Hope to try a few local beers tonight. I have also heard a rumor that they have the Brooklyn Oktoberfest in some places around. The hunt is on.

Good Luck Tcoy777, I would just give you one piece of advice that helped me get through my one and only marathon. When/If it gets tough just say to yourself that you put in so much effort you put into training. All those long runs in the heat and all those mornings when you had to fit in an early morning run. Just think, NO ONE PUT IN THE EFFORT THAT YOU DID!!!!!!!


GOOD LUCK TCOY777 !!!!!!!!!!

Thanks just a few more days away.

Ran 2 miles at a nice slow pace. Ran with my wife on her couch to 5k program. Its funny she is just starting to run and here I am two or three years from where she was to now doing a marathon. Amazing. I never thought I would ever do this. Lesson, NEVER SAY NEVER.

A quick post from Chicago. I finished way off my pace but I FREAKING FINISHED. 4:43:48. My foot reared its ugly head at mile 15. That combined with the heat made it rough. That saying about the wall, I don't know if I hit it or not, but I lost it soon after 20 miles. All things considered with my foot and the heat I am so happy right now. I almost cried when I saw the finish line. I will give a better report later, now I need a shower and LOTS OF BEER.

Thanks for everyone's support. You all were there with me when it was the toughest! YOU ALL ARE THE BEST!!!

Congratulations! You are now a MARATHONER!

Bask in that glow, you've definitely earned it.
