T'was The Night Before The Marathon...

Jitters have turned into "let's do it now!"- this used to happen to me before finals as well. I just want to get it over with at this point. Nice dinner with most of the family (my partner stayed home but we will have plenty of time together tomorrow!), all of our clothes laid out, instructions for the many children written, milk pumped. One of my only doubts is "what happens if I have too much milk?" When I ran in 2007 I was nursing J and he was about the same age but 1. I was only nursing one, 2. I ran it so my body was much more taxed and focused 3. I was out of the house for 4-5 hours less than I will be tomorrow. We are waking up at 5 (thank goodness for time change), leaving at 6 and catching a 6:12 subway to meet abuela at 96 St, shoot down to South Ferry and catch the 7:15am ferry. Too bad I will not start the actual race until 10:40am (maybe not even cross the start line until 11am?). One other potential downfall is having to finish in the dark. I mean, I am definitely finishing in the dark (sun sets at 4:42pm) but will there even be any cheerers around in the cold dark? Okay, no more doubts. Off to sleep, if I can, if the babies let me (A took almost 3 hours to fall asleep). I will have a report tomorrow night. If you want to track me, go to the ING NYC website- my bib is 66-762 (there are over 66,000 people lining up before me??). Here we come!
