It's almost 9pm the night before my first marathon ever - the 2011 LA Marathon! I didn't realize that I was nervous until Nicole caught me checking my phone every 10 minutes for the weather in LA tomorrow. The forecast: 100% chance of heavy rain with wind. I am not putting too much faith in the forecast since I lived in LA for a few years and have seen the pitiful meteorologist track record - but it's enough to keep me worried and awake. I really hope that it doesn't dump on us, but we'll take it in stride (and without an ipod) if it does.
Despite the nerves, I am very excited to get out to Dodgers Stadium in the morning to start this adventure. I have a pace in mind, a pair of badass knee-high socks, body glide for my nipples, and an amazing partner to run with. Nicole has done a great job of keeping me moving and motivated, and I'm so happy that she's here to help me through this.
Having only gotten a few hours of sleep last night, we're trying to crash early so we're fresh in the morning (at 4:30am...). Wish us luck!
