Number 27396

I got my number yesterday, I guess it's official. I'm number 27396. Looks like there's supposed to be close to 30000 runners! Holy Cow! I don't think I have ever run with that many people. Between all the people and the bands at every mile marker, there should be plenty of adrenaline pumping to keep me going. If you'd like to keep tabs on me during the race you can sign up to receive updates as to where I am along the course on race day via text messages to your phone. Just visit this website to register: www.competitorwireless.com. Pretty cool. Tonight we have our "Send-Off" party at the Atlantic Beer Garden in Boston. We will be picking up our packets for race weekend and receiving our singlets. Exciting stuff. My runs for the last two weeks are pretty minimal. It's "taper time." I ran 4 miles yesterday, I'll run 4 tomorrow and 12 on Sunday. Before I know it, I'll be "leaving on a jet plane..."
