I have a meeting that goes until 4:30p, and I'm heading out as soon as it's done. It's been crazy busy time for me here at work. To be honest, I haven't thought much about the marathon. I threw a bunch of stuff in my suitcase and in the back of the car, and I'm heading out as soon as I can. Hope I didn't forget my running shoes.
Hi Jodi: Yup, I've got your cell in my new iPhone. Hopefully I programmed it in correctly. I will meet up in the hotel lobby tomorrow at 1pm. I'm actually looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow. How are you feeling for this marathon. Did you ever get a 20 miler in? What was your furthest LR?
I am driving to Philly, and to be honest, I don't know where I'm going right now. I need to map it. I don't think I will be on 84 though. I think it's 81 I'm taking.Are you driving to PA? Don't even tell me you're going to go right by me! If you're going to be anywhere on routes 84 or 684 or the Taconic, you better let me know!
Judy,I am not worthy to be on this thread....Not worthy.....
What's up with that forecast?? Didn't I say only Howard could post about weather??
Looking forward to your catwalk approach to the starting line in your bathrobe!
and Mike

Why are these taper runs always SO hard?!!?
Today:
PHILADELPHIA 745 AM EST FRI NOV 21 2008 ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM EST THIS MORNING... THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW...WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM EST THIS MORNING. AN AREA OF SNOW WAS MOVING ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...THE NORTHERN DELMARVA AND MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY THIS MORNING. ONE COOPERATIVE OBSERVER IN HONEY BROOK REPORTED THREE INCHES OF SNOW ON THE GROUND AS OF 7 AM EST. THIS AMOUNT IS VERY LIKELY ON THE HIGH END OF WHAT CAN BE EXPECTED THIS MORNING...BUT ONE TO THREE INCHES OF SNOW IS QUITE POSSIBLE OVER MUCH OF THE ADVISORY AREA. FOR THE MOST PART...THE SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE ON GRASSY SURFACES...BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES...AND ANY ACCUMULATION ON ROADWAYS WILL DISAPPEAR AS THE MORNING WEARS ON AND TEMPERATURES RISE SLOWLY. HOWEVER...ROADWAYS WILL ACCUMULATE AT LEAST A COATING OF SNOW AS IT FALLS AND VISIBILITIES WILL DROP TO ONE HALF MILE OR LESS IN BRIEF MODERATE SNOW BURSTS. THE MORNING COMMUTE WILL BE CHALLENGING...AND MOTORISTS ARE ADVISED TO BE CAREFUL. SLOW DOWN AND LEAVE AS MUCH ROOM AS POSSIBLE BETWEEN YOURSELF AND OTHERS. IT IS BETTER TO ARRIVE LATE THAN NOT AT ALL. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW WILL CAUSE TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR SLIPPERY ROADS AND LIMITED VISIBILITIES...AND USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING.
Howard
Jodi, no I haven't been to Goodwill yet, but now that I know there will be a CATWALK, I better get something good if I will be competing against Cindy
I am sure Mike has already considered this.
JodiI did get my LAST 4 miles in today. WOW, was it ever hard!
I guess I have been carb loading for a few too many days this week!
. I myself, have been carb loading for a bit too looong, as well. . Oh well!
No, no, no. My longest run was 18, about, oh...a while ago . We'll see .
We had about an inch here in South Jersey but it's all melted off now. The sun keeps popping in and out but the sky is mostly grey. Local weather forecasts are calling for cold temps tomorrow but dry. Sunday still looks dry and 35-41. We'll be fine.We awoke to a white layer of frozen precipitation this morning, probably close to a half inch.
It is still snowing here too. Not the best thing to have on the ground whilst running a marathon. I hope that conditions in Philly are more favorable and that this stuff melts off by Sunday. I have a feeling we'll be running in and around some areas of frozen stuff.
Me too! Whatever trepadacious means,
I wonder if Sara was feeling it in the backseat of the car this morning?!?
