It is my new favorite number.  Less than 24 hours until the start and I can't believe it.  I am ready to take on the whole 26.2 miles.  I will be starting at 8:00AM and should be finished by 4:00PM.  Some people have asked what time I will be passing certain points in the race -</p>

<p>I will be going between 12 and 20 minutes per mile depending if I am on the handcrank or walking.  I should be at mile 7 in Brooklyn between 9:30AM and 10:00AM.</p>

<p>In Manhattan I will be going on the east side of 1st Avenue and my mom, relatives and friends will all be on 92nd St. and 1st Ave.  That is mile 18 and I should be there between 12:30PM and 1:15PM.  Hope to see some of you there!</p>

<p>Going to rest the remainder of the day and pig-out.</p>

It is hard to just wait around as I am ready to go!  I can't believe we are less than 2 days away.  I will be going to the <span class="caps">EXPO </span>in a little while to pick up my number and racing chip and then I will start packing everything I will need for Sunday.  Tonight is the Achilles Pasta party and over 300 Achilles athletes and volunteers from all over the world will be there.  I wish everyone a great race!  Best wishes everyone!<br />
