"I've come here to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of bubble gum."

-John Carpenter movie starring Roddy Piper...Pop quiz: What movie was it???? Winner gets prize behind door #1

The NYC Marathon race day is TOMORROW!!!! Gotta get ready for the big day:

Shirt...check!


Sneakers...check!


Running tights...check!


Energy gels...check!




I keep trying to remind myself to have fun and not focus on time, form, etc, but it's hard not to. I want to finish, but also finish with a good time (preferably under 4 hours would be great) and not be in too much pain. I over think and analyze too much, and forget to enjoy the experience. This is the downside of being a scientist...I critically analyze everything!!! This run isn't about competing with others, it's about personally improving in myself as a runner and seeing NYC come alive with sight and sound. Entertaining music blasting and thousands of people cheering each other on. This is what makes New York unique!

So since today is my birthday...gonna spend it relaxing and fueling up for tomorrow!



This old lady is gonna BRING IT! I hope to report back with some good results and pictures!!
Until next time...





I'm still fresh out of bubble gum!!
