First Light Marathon is a mere 4.5 days away, and I’m getting excited about the trip out there. Came across this very informative and entertaining article in the Press-Register.
- Informative – Mobile is the host of this week’s GoDaddy.com bowl game. Now I have some interest to perhaps watch!
- Entertaining – A crowd of 40,000 watched a mechanical Moon Pie drop from the sky on New Years Eve! Some additional research uncovered this article outlining many more odd New Years Eve droppings in other cities.
- Sensible – The author states that the 7:30 marathon start time is completely unreasonable. I agree!
In training news, I ran an easy 4 miler last night, and have some light speed-work planned for tonite. Then probably an easy final tune-up on Friday.
This is gonna be fun…

Hi Scott!
Wow! You’ve really accomplished a lot since you started this blog! It’s inspiring to me since I’m just starting out with long-distance running.
I ran across your site while doing some research on marathons, which I then compiled into a marathon calendar graphic. It also includes some marathon training tips. I’d love it if you gave it a look when you have a moment:

Sorry I missed you! I had spent a lot of time in the port o potty’s so at some point you probably passed me. I liked running through the 2 college campuses.
