In less than a week, I may have completed the New York Marathon! The New York Times article of last Friday was a blow to us that are just trying to complete the marathon in whatever time it does take us. However, I feel it has energized me too. It was poor judgement on the part of then NY Times to run this article before the marathon and it has been interesting to read all the comments. I think the majority of readers did not like the tone of the article and believe whether you walk, jog or run the 26.2 miles that you are marathoner! I am no plodder!
Today started off with a 3.5 mile run. It rained so hard for the entire run that my clothes and shoes were just soaked. Luckily it was quite warm but the downpours in Portland today resulted in 12,000 flooding calls into the city. Leaves clogging drains created the major problems and we certainly encountered many flooded ditches and leaves in our path today. I hope we do not have rain during the NYC marathon.
Feeling exhausted between work, remodel, a National Kidney Foundation dinner and corraling two teenagers into bed! Thinking of postponing my early departure on Weds to NY and try and get some sleep. My son Matt is feeling sick and quite frankly, I don't feel great either! Oh no, I hope I am not getting sick so close to the marathon. Off to bed....goodnight!
