Race Day!

Well, I'm nearly there. The race starts in 9 hours (what?? 9 hours??) I'm at my hotel in SF and should be getting ready for bed but I still have this one thing left to do, and that's to tell you where to find me! You can go to the Nike Women's Marathon website to view a course map but here are the mile markers and my projected time.

The times listed here are 10 minute miles so if you arrive at that time, you will definitely NOT miss me since I expect to be running more like a 12 minute mile. I put a couple of times in parenthesis that are the 12 minute mile times. I should be somewhere between the two.

Thanks to all of you who can make it. I can't wait to tell you all about it after I finish but for now, I'm off to visualize!!
