Race Day

It's 4:46am, coffee is ready and Boone has been feed and walked. Now it's time to prep myself. Breakfast is some toast with honey and banana's. Roll on some running gel for protection and the nipguards.. and rolling out the door.

Running through the City

This Sunday I'll be running my second marathon and for the second year in a row.

I'll be running through the City for the San Francisco Marathon and my goal will be to finish followed by finishing strong.

How am I feeling? I was fine until I started typing this and then became nervous.... or is that excitement? :) I have not consistently trained in the last three weeks in which during that time had too many beers during a recent vacation. That will hurt. But I most be positive as now I know what to expect from last years run and my last 20 mile training run was fast and very strong. I took an easy 4.5 miler this morning and listened to my body for issues, physically and mentally I felt great! Time to increase my fluid intake (not beer nor wine!) and start stretching.

With one of the two half marathons sold out and more people being added to the full marathon, runners should expect great running weather. Patchy fog in the morning with light winds with temperatures starting around 55 degrees and climbing to 64 degree's by the end of the race.

My progress can be watched live via http://www.runraceresults.com/live1, my bib number is 3456.

I'll post an updated blog on Sunday or Monday. Cheers!

Posting to blogger and not the old domain

I recently ceased my themazurs.com domain and will only be posting here,
at Blogger. Pictures that are referred to in blogs will be distributed
across a number of free album sites, like google, flickr and snapfish.
Cheers.
