Race Day Fashions
It is 10pm on Sunday night, and I should be asleep getting charged for the marathon tomorrow. Instead I am blogging (to Nick's great chagrin). I really wanted to post what I will be wearing in the race tomorrow, so that if you are standing along the course, you will have a better chance at spotting me as I run by you. Luckily the DFMC singlet is bright orange, so it should be easy to recognize.

Let's Get Ready
While I am getting ready to run the Boston Marathon in less then two weeks, I hope you are getting excited about following the race and maybe even going out to the course to watch it.
If you will not be in Boston on April 19th, you can still follow my progress along the race course. AT&T provides a way for you to receive text message or email alerts when I cross the starting line, the 10K point, the half point, 30K point and the finish line. The following link, AT&T Athelete Alert Program, provides the instructions for setting up the alerts. My bib number is 22583.
If you are in Boston, I hope you get a chance to come out and cheer the runners along the course. It is always super exciting to see the elite runners zoom by. Of course then you might have to wait awhile to see your friends, i.e. me, to come crawling along a few hours later.
Here is an excellent interactive guide to the course map and good locations for the spectators: Boston Marathon Interactive Map. Personally, I would suggest that you avoid the finish line, and if you do go out to the Woodland T station to watch the race along Rte. 16, please be prepared to wait in crowded line to go back into town.
If you make a decision on where you will be before Marathon Monday, please let me know. I love seeing my friends along the course, and if I know where you'll stand I will be able to keep a lookout for you too. I will post what I will wear a day or two before the race to make it easier for you to spot me. At this point one thing is certain--I will definitely be wearing my Dana Farber Marathon Challenge singlet (a photo of it to follow).

Scorecard and Ten Seconds of Fame (Literally)
Being completely preoccupied with eating and workout, I only now found time to report that my 20 mile run last weekend went really well. Yes, of course there were some aches and pains, but I made it in great time without major difficulties. What a confindence booster that was!
Check out the video clip of me running the 20 miles. (The video then moves on to show you other news clips--just reload the page, if you would like to see me run for 10 seconds again, as I know you do.)
With just two weeks remaining before the marathon, the excitement builds, and the tapering off has begun. On Saturday I ran only 14 miles (Cleveland Circle out to Wellesley and back). Next weekend the run will be shorter still--probably about 8 miles.
