The weather for Sunday was predicting cold, cold rain, so rather than spend a ton of time with logistics and forcing my family to take care of me during the Eastern States race, I ran from my parents' house in Durham and did the whole 20 miles in just over 10 minute miles, including a 6 minute stop to change clothes, water bottles, and to pee. Actual running time worked out to about 9 and a half minute miles and my second loop was about 5 minutes faster than the first. Sweet!
It was also the first time that I really truly believed that I was going to finish this marathon, maybe even run the whole thing!
In typical fashion I was fussing about the house, looking at loop mileage, fixing my bottles when my Dad came by and asked, "you are going running aren't you," "Yup," I said "just checking my loop mileage." "Good, just wanted to make sure you weren't procrastinating or anything" I was out the door within five minutes...laughing my head off for the first mile!

Kick butt U2 song that always makes me go fast whether I'm on the erg or running: U2 Lady with the Spinning Head
