Marathon Preparedness




Marathon Pre­pared­ness

Orig­i­nal­ly uploaded by super_structure.

Well, Angela and I are as ready as we’ll ever be. In less than ten hours, we’ll be on the way to run­ning 26.2 miles. It’s been a long time com­ing (well, six months) and we are ready for it.

We went to the pre-race pas­ta din­ner put on at the Pres­by­ter­ian church just down on Mon­u­ment Ave this evening. The pas­ta was some of the best I’ve ever had, too. Ange­la’s got her stuff all ready, her plans to run with her bud­dy for at least the first ten miles, and her iPod loaded with fun songs.

Me, I run at least half the time alone and just look­ing around at all the sights. One of the best parts of run­ning is get­ting to notice things at street lev­el you’d nev­er see even from a car. Tomor­row, I’m going to take in the city of Rich­mond and love every minute of it. All 270 276 of them.

  1. Best of luck Jason and Angela, I wish I had the ware­with­all (sp?) to endure such and adven­ture. I am very proud of both of you. I look for­ward to see­ing some pic­tures and hear about the race.

  2. Hey Jason & Angela… Steph & I are here up late… We’re super proud of you two for all the hard work & exten­sive (way more than we did) train­ing… Have a great time in the race… I’m sure you guys are going to have a lot of sto­ries… and most of all car­ry a new and rare accom­plish­ment with you for the rest of your lives… Much love… Let’s run the next one together!
    ‑dave & Steph.

  3. Do you say “Break a leg” to a run­ner like you would an actor? Either way there will be lots of hap­py peo­ple clap­ping for you today.

    I do know what to say in this sit­u­a­tion though… Jason, Angela…Go forth and kick ass.
