Tomorrow is the big day...

I'm going to run 26.2 miles.

Wow, I'm nuts.

I tried to go to yoga this morning, but my teacher is on some retreat so we were thrust into a pilates class.  This poor girl next to me asked, "why are things so different?"

"Um, because you're blond."

Ok, no, I didn't really say that.

But, I'm carb loading and eating chocolate cake.

Mmmmm, cake.

I told Todd to take pictures tomorrow because I picked out a special outfit that almost rivals those dumb-ass biking ensembles

I'm doing a marathon in a skirt...

and capri tights.

Another 18 miles today...

I ran it in 2 hours and 35 minutes, which is 10 faster than last week.

It was less painful and seemed less far...I think because we had more water stops.

I've been pretty sore all week, so I would like to take this moment to thank the ibuprofen and caffeine Gods for making today's run possible.  Without you, I never would have done it.

Thank you for your support...

I think I'll go stretch...

...or nap...

Wow, 18 miles is far...

Then, I thought I should grocery shop and go to Macy's.

So now, it's about 6 hours after I stopped running and I haven't really sat down since...

I think my butt just grew into this chair.

Did I mention 18 miles is really far?
