NYC 2008 Marathon - Sunday, November 2

I am running my first (and most likely last!) marathon. For 5 years we have watched the marathon run by our apartment and this year I am running with my friend Gavin. (We climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro last year together. This has been much harder!)

As of right now, I have run a total of 394 miles (over 61 hours) preparing for the marathon. I'll be glad to get back to a more "normal" routine after Nov. 2...

There are a lot of ways to track me during the race, all of which can be found at the ING NYC Marathon website. We start in the 10:20am group, and are hoping to run the full course in right around 4 hours.

This is a really cool video of the entire marathon route. You can watch and see what I'll see on Sunday!
