One Week Away!

This time next week I will hopefully be celebrating the successful completion of my first marathon. The nerves are starting to build now as I look forward and worry about things like the weather on race day or look backwards with concerns about the training I've put in. I've been nursing a couple injuries for the past few days and I'm hoping that the wounds will heal in time to run the race. A steady dose of ice and pain killers over the next couple of days outta do the trick.


In addition to running in the marathon, I will be turning this trip into a nice little vacation back to the home state of Iowa. I'm particularly excited because my girlfriend Jessie will be making the trip with me giving me the opportunity to share with her all sorts of things (mostly restaurants) I enjoyed during my time in Iowa. I'm also looking forward to seeing some old friends. To those of you who may be in Iowa, hope to see you soon!

Hopefully I can find the time to post a couple updates during the trip.

So here we go... A couple more days of work and then it's off on a week of vacation!

Oh and when Sunday rolls around, if you wanna keep track of my progress check this out...
