Holy cannoli!!! I'm so freaked/excited/terrified.... 15 hrs and 53 min to go.

Trying hard not to eat any more, as anything else I ingest will just end up as "possible poo problems" and I'd really rather run with a slightly empty gut. But boy-oh-boy was I fat & carb loading over the past couple weeks! Started adding nuts into my diet 10 days ago, to up my fat portions, and started eating more carbs 3 days ago (and have the smelly gas to prove it!) 

Expo was interesting but I've been mostly sitting on my butt w/ the feet up and drinking lots of liquids. It feels unreal that I'm gonna run my first marathon in just a matter of hours. Bought a 26.2 sticker to match my 13.1 already on my car.... can't wait to slap that sticker on and officially say that I'm a marathoner! 

Plan is to go to bed at 6p as I'll need to wake up at 3am. Yeah, we'll see if that goes to plan.... Wish me luck and if you feel like seeing my results (before I post all over OH and blog about it....), I'm bib #17004 and the website is www.marinemarathon.com

Happy running all!!!
