Today is Day Two of "Marathon Week," and my preparations continue to progress quite well. I banged out my second to last training run on the treadmill, an easy four miles at 7:30 per mile pace. After desperately searching in vain for a pink running top to wear during the marathon in recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and to honor my late sister, I was able to find a pair of hot pink cycling socks on Amazon.com. Clearly actual running socks would have been preferable, but I am sure these will work perfectly fine (hopefully these do not turn out to be famous last words). In addition, my wife bought me a new white Under Armour running top (did I mention how awesome she is?), on which she is going to write "Do It For Bea" in pink lettering, so I should be all set! Finally, I have been carbo loading like a fiend the last couple of days. I think I may have started a bit early, but I figure it certainly can't hurt!
