What's Next? A senate seat on ebay to help with the bailout?

Well, I'm reading in the news about how the Governor of Illinois is selling Obama's empty Senate seat. I don't know of all the details but it shouldn't be a surprise that it's a Democrat. And I hear that Jesse Jackson's son is in the mix. Will these people just go away???

In other news, my first marathon is tomorrow and I'm nervous as heck!! I just have to keep reminding myself to start slow, continue slow and I'll be fine. 26.2 miles is a lot, but if I have to crawl across that finish line, I'll get there.

This is my first attempt at keeping up with a blog so I guess you just start writing.

The most important thing going on with me is I'm running my first marathon this weekend. The Rocket City Marathon, I've been told is a good marathon for first timers. I'm shooting for 4:30 finishing time. We'll see how it goes.

Since I lost a day of training yesterday due to sickness, I'll do 5 miles on the TM this afternoon and do 5 or 6 miles on the TM tomorrow. Friday will be swimming and pilates. I'm probably not tapering as much as I should.
