Nice solo run this morning, watching the sun come up.  Started to feel the old runner in me coming back.  Still took 2-3 miles to warm up.  Over all pace about 9:30, not great- but that's as good as its going to get at this point so close to the marathon. Did have a little arch pain afterwards, looks like I'll be doping with ibuprofen pre-race.  Here's the marathon goals:

Ambitious Gold- 3:45:XX (BQ)

Attainable Silver- 3:52:XX

Acceptable Bronze- anything under 4:00, last years SGM's time

Getting excited, esp. to see FRB friends, go to expo and get 'er done! Hope the weather is as delightful as it was last year.  Its a treat to have such a great marathon in my own backyard, I'll try to enjoy every second of it!

No I won't drop kick you, I might hurt my hip or something! (he,he) I'm just going to figure it out and get running!

Just as a side note, tonight Jamie had a cat scan (again) she has a stomach full of infection (again).... the surgery she had in June was totally suposed to take care of this. I started her on two different I.V. meds that we will do untill Monday and I can talk to her surgeon, I hope I still get to come down for the marathon?

I probably won't be coming to the blogger's party because my brother (who is running the marathon also) his wife and two kids and my mom are going to be here. My husband has to be at the Snow Canyon High school football game it is there homecoming so we might go there for a while. I'm not sure. Whatever they want to do.

This week is going to be a killer mentally. I hate the week before all these doubts creep in and I just have to force myself to think postively.
