Runner Email 11 October 2007

I know I just sent out an email yesterday, but lots more of you have joined us in the last couple days.

So, I'm getting some interesting questions lately. "Will there be water and Gatorade at the aid stations?" "Will there be portajohns on the course?" "Will I get lost on the course?" (The word "interesting" here might be considered a euphemism for "st*pid", but I'm not committing to that.)

So, let me assure all of you, this is a marathon. It's not put on by rookies. It's put on by marathon runners. It's put on by a whole bunch of people who are here to make your experience the BEST ever. We've got potties. We've got fluids. We've got pasta. We've got an expo. We've got pretty dancing girls.

We love you and care about you. So plan on having a good time. And, before you email in your questions, check out the FAQ and the Race Day Info pages on the website.

Notice the countdown clock on the website. It says 16 days and a few hours and something. It's crunch time. It's taper time.

And now, a word from our sponsor...
Gazelle Sports is offering a $10 coupon for Brooks products and we thought this is the perfect time to buy a shoe or two or some cool Brooks stuff to wear for the marathon. Maybe a new shirt, vest or pair of shorts – you get the idea – it’s time to buy now – Don’t wait until the day before.

You should see the race shirts. You're going to love them. And the medals are pretty cool too.

You're going to love this.

and the adventure continues....
