Sena and I drove the course yesterday. It was absolutely beautiful - truly amazing.
But the hills - ah the hills - I am now afraid, very afraid. I should have done more hill work. The downhills are going to kill me by the end of this race.
The two mile uphill looked tough on paper, but in reality, it looks even tougher.
This is followed by a three mile down hill at mile 10-13 - my quads will be toast at mile 13 - guaranteed.
3:30 if I'm lucky. I think I'll just enjoy the day and take it easy like originally planned.

Hope the day went really well. You're in one of my favorite parts of the world (though I've never been tempted to run a marathon there!).
Tried to leave a comment on Sena's blog, but I couldn't without a blogger account, so here it is:
Wow, Sena! What a fantastic accomplishment! Congratulations -- and how wonderful that your mentor ran along side you . . .
Well, actually, it's congratulations to both of you!
