Well, I’m present for the Flying Monkey Marathon, at least.
Met fellow RunningAhead.com members at the packet pickup… One of them asked me if me if I had driven the course yet. I said that I hadn’t, to which he responded that I probably shouldn’t.
I then remarked about my shins hurting a little. The response… “It won’t matter, because your legs will be numb after the second mile anyway.”
Nice.
All for this little finishers… umm…. medal?
Less than 16 hours to go.
