Marathon weekend
Jan. 13th, 2007 01:39 pmWe are trying to figure out what the weather is going to be like in the morning - it seems like the front has speeded up and it's going to be cold and rainy instead of warm and rainy. Rob says if it's too terrible he's staying in bed!
But that would be very unlike him. I will be very surprised if he doesn't run. If you want to check up on him, his race number is 1773. Or I think (based on past years) that you can probably also look him up by name. The website is here.

Video evidence!
Jan. 26th, 2006 09:37 amAlso... if you would like to see Rob finish the marathon, go [to this abclocal link that no longer works] and put in his name in the middle box, and then click on the link that comes up. (It's Windows Media, unfortunately.) He doesn't show up for a few seconds after the clip starts - he's the guy with red shorts on and no shirt. You can clearly see the hitch in his gait every other step. That's the hamstring thing. (But hey! 2:59 and change is still nothing to sneeze at!)

Jan. 13th, 2006 10:15 pmI feel so scattered lately. And the bad thing is, I'm always scattered, so for me to notice it it's got to be even worse than usual. I don't know what to make of that, I just thought I'd throw it out there.
On that cheery note... We will be busy this weekend, so hopefully I won't have too much time to brood. I feel kind of broody right now (as you can probably tell), but I'll get over it. I always do.
If you want to know what I'll be doing this weekend, see last year's entry. Because it'll be pretty much exactly the same. Except that I can't tell you ahead of time how fast Rob will run, of course - although barring injury or something like that, he always runs something just under three hours. And also, we are staying at the Hilton this year, unlike last year. I'm fairly excited about that, actually, because it's right there by the start/finish line. No shuttling back and forth - I can stay in bed all morning if I want to! (Although we have yet to negotiate whether I'm going to try to meet him someplace with Gatorade, which I do most years. We'll see about that part.)
