19 Days Until NYC Marathon!
Ok, I think I'm finally starting to get a little excited! My registration card came in the mail last week while I was here in Bloomington, Indiana. My race number is 42679!
It says that I have an "Orange Start!" (Cassie, you've got to love it!) The guidebook says that there are "blue, orange or green" starts.
The preparation for the New York City Marathon hasn't been textbook, but it was better than last year's readiness for the Marine Corps Marathon.
I just completed my hotel reservations for East Rutherford, New Jersey for Friday through Sunday nights. [I'm staying there because I chose to take the bus from the Meadowlands over to Staten Island Sunday morning. The property is right at the Meadowlands.]
I'll be flying into LaGuardia (LGA) Monday morning, October 31st, going to visit some folks that I worked on a project with on Long Island that afternoon before I drive to see my grandparents in central Pennsylvania from Tuesday through Friday morning.
I plan on having dinner Friday evening, November 4th with a former co-worker from my last employer in the Philadelphia area before going to the Expo on Saturday in the city to pickup my bib number and chip! [I may be able to run with my Luke's Locker chip!]
Then, I'll fly back to Houston on Monday afternoon, November 7th!

see, it's a sign!!! orange start can only mean good things :)
I amr eally excited fo ryou. I *hope* I get to do NYC someday!
Orange is definitely good...that's on the upper deck of the bridge. You don't want to be on the lower bridge (hint: that's not rain water that falls down onto the lower deck)
So excited! I'm starting to freak a bit about MCM, but I already asked Hub if I could plan to do NYC soon! It's just so incredible to think of all the PEOPLE! I will be watching for both you and Richard Stanford for sure!
if I may interject some slang...NYC is gonna be krunk and off the chizain!
Good luck on race day! NYC is like no other race in the world. Remember to enjoy it!
