Wow, this week went by fast. Leaving for NYC this morning and feel pretty good. Legs feel good. Have been eating well and getting decent rest. I did have a hard time getting to sleep on Thursday night due to being extraordinarily keyed up for some reason.
Next is the train ride. The train is scheduled to arrive at Penn Station at 2:45pm, which leaves plenty of time to get my race packet at the Expo before 5pm when it closes. The Hope for the Warriors team lead is dropping off the charity tent bracelet for me at the place where we are staying, which will allow me to use the charity tent tomorrow morning at the starting line. Apparently there are some amenities to the tent including food and water, etc.
My race bib # is 30129. I'm in the Orange Wave #2, which starts at 10:10 AM Sunday morning. So I plan to get to the start at around 9 at the latest. This means tomorrow I have to take a subway ride to the ferry station, then ferry to Staten Island, then bus from ferry landing to the start line. I'm glad I'm not in charge of the logistics lash-up for this event that guarantees transportation to the start for 45k runners.
To track my progress tomorrow you can see the instructions at the official ING NYM site. For the record, I'm not planning on tweeting from the course!
I'm gunning for under 4 hours tomorrow, and I think that's certainly attainable. Together we raised $3500 for Hope for the Warriors. I think the weather is going to be great tomorrow, and the support from the city and the marathon workers is the best. Things are coming together to make this a very successful event.
That's it for now. I appreciate your prayers and support, and feel free to cheer me on in spirit. Appreciate the love via text and Facebook as well, of course!
