ok so two weeks from today is race day and I am actually really looking forward to the experience.  It has been my good fortune to run marathons in many different towns and cities in the US and abroad and I have found it is a great way to get to know a city and people.  i look forward to exploring the streets of Arkansas as i run the 26.2 miles and to locking eyes with the people littered along the course.  it is just an awesome experience.

so from a training perspective i had a good weekend....over 50 miles on the weekend 10 friday, 20+ Saturday and 20+ Sunday.  i am getting ready....my lungs are good and muscles are feeling strong.    more later
