Modern Technology is SO exciting!
I'm sitting here "watching" Erica run the Marine Corp Marathon. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, the folks at the MCM have real-time tracking of the runners. I simply entered in the name of the runner & BAM! Instant results. Then all I had to do was click on "Map Track" & a map of the course popped up & with a big yellow & black dot that represents Erica. It automatically updates every few seconds & shows her name, bib #, mile location (ie: mile 18.45) pace time, 10K time, & 1/2 time. It is SO cool! I'm actually cheering every time the page refreshes. She has about 30 minutes to "make the bridge" & at the pace she's going, she should have no problem.
GO ERICA, GO!!!
You're gonna make it!!
:D
***EDIT***
She finished in 7:02:13. Way to go Erica! You rock!

Congrats to you Erin for finishing the marathon. I hope you were able to make your target time.
If you're talking about the MCM I wrote about in this post, that wasn't me, that was my friend, Erica. But I'm sure she thanks you. :)
If you're talking about the Alaska marathon I did back in June, then thanks! I didn't finish in the time I wanted, but with the weather being so incredibly bad, I was just thrilled that I finished the damn thing at all! :)
Thanks for the cheering! I feel so loved!! :)
