The projected weather for marathon day is rain and mid-50s. I hope the forcast will change just a bit and give us no rain - the temp is quite nice for running. I felt sore last night, but woke this morning a little bit better. My knee is still tight, my quads are slighty sore from yesterday's run, but my ribs don't ache as badly and that is SO good.
Now that I am feeling better, I've decided to start obsessing about what I will wear, carry, think about on Marathon day... I have a spot on my desk for all marathon related stuff - singlet, shorts, assorted GUs, race belt -- to wear or not? Music - yes or no?Some people I've talked to said that it helped them focus, others wanted to fully experience the power of the crowds. ...I did not run with music for my 20 miler and it was kind of nice... Sun glasses? (I suppose if its raining I won't be needing them). Suggestions are appreciated.
ONE WEEK PEOPLE!!! ONE WEEK TO MARATHON DAY!!

My 3-Day Team does their Sunday walks out of Marathon Sports (the one on Beacon) and it was really fun to see all the runners from their marathon team. There was so much excitement in the air.
I'm *so* glad that your knee and ribs are better. When I read the post about your fall my heart sank about a mile. You're going to have a great time, though. I can feel it.
No race belt, no ear phones. Go au-naturale - it's BOSTON!
