HELL I AM!. Now I am debating when exactly do I start my carbo loading--I am confused. Am I eating too much/drinking too less!!!Your training has been awesome are you shooting for a time. I have just one 20 miller under my belt and I plan to take it real easy for the first 20 miles and then pick up speed (hopefully *grins*) .good luck on yours, with all the hills/trainings behind you, your first one is going to be REAl fun!

you sound like me! i'm always stressing over if i've drank enough water or had enough carbs ... and i still have a month to go! LOL!

i've been reading Jeff Galloway's MARATHON you can do it! and as far as i can tell the 48 hours before the marathon (or a long run) it's very important to make sure you drink at least 8 oz. of water every hour you are awake. as for carbo loading .. argh! more to stress about!!!! ;)

i plan on taking it slow for the first 18-20 miles ...and hitting every aid station along the way!

you're going to do great!!! :)

didn't you have some kind of meeting on the 15th (of this month .. or is it next month)? did i miss you?

how are things working out for you? you need to update more (or IM me) :)

[big_trouble]

i rescheduled the meeting for late next week. too many factors kept me from coming back in time for it. as it stands right now i'm coming into town on tuesday and i'll be there for a week or so.

how are things? in a word?

fucky.

i haven't been able to get together everything that i've felt this last week or so. it's either that or i'm just scared at what it would look like once i got it all out.

If I lived near you I would go root you on! I am just impressed you can run 20 miles period. I am feeling all good about myself if I just walk 5 miles a day let alone run it! KUDOS
