Marathon Countdown

I am less than a week from running 26.2 miles: holy.crap!

I woke up this morning with pains in my right calf, as well as pain in my right toes. My initial thought was that I have a stress fracture in my foot (ball of the foot), but as the day has gone on the pain has lessened quite a bit.

Please pray that I can find a good and quick remedy for the pain in my foot and nagging IT Band issue AND that I am able to complete the marathon. At this point time does not matter - I want to cross the finish line under my own power before the course closes (after 6+ hours).

What ever time I finish the race, I think I'm going to burn both my sets of running shoes and leave them in Chicago (or I may just throw them in the river - just kidding. Maybe)

Love, Dad
