Well its almost here.  I'm leaving tomorrow morning for San Diego and the original Rock and Roll Marathon awaits on Sunday.

Race starts at 6:30 am, so I'm hoping to finish by 12:30 pm if all goes accordingly to plan

If you are extremely bored on a Sunday, you can watch a webcast of the finish, they'll be up from 8 am till about 1:30 pm, so if you tune in between 12:15 and 12:45 pm PDT, you might catch a glimpse of me finishing.  My number 19377 if ya can spot me.  Not sure they will be updating the 5k, 10k, etc. marks in real-time, but you can check rnrmarathon.com for updates.

I'm pretty excited for my first marathon and hoping i don't get too jacked up at the start that i'll burn out. 

I'll post a report when I get back Monday or Tuesday!

I'm shooting for between 5.5 and 6 hours, depending on how much i get burnt out the last 10k.  I'm hoping once I hit Mile 25, I will have enough juice left to finish running and not crawling lol
