07:48 Good Monday morning everyone. #

07:57 Debating on whether to buy one of those oval 26.2 stickers for the car. #

08:01 Tweetdeck is cool and all, but I wish the notification popped up in the bottom right instead of top right, and had an X to close it. #

08:01 Tweetdeck's notification always pops up IN THE WAY. #

08:27 They've posted official times! #

08:27 401st place out of 415 *snif* #

08:28 401. Greg Chance Olivehurst, CA 117 M 39 6:21:32 #

08:30 Another thing I was dealing with, I was peeing a lot. I had to stop 4 or 5 times to pee, almost peed my pants a couple times #

08:38 Wow, it's raining. So it cleared up the day of the marathon and that was it. Very cool. #

09:10 OK guys, we're off to Eureka. Taking the kids to the ocean and probably the Samoa Cookhouse! I love that place! #

19:33 Hey everyone. I picked up a USB cable at Target so I could upload my Garmin race data tonight. :) #

19:43 Mapped Avenue of the Giants Marathon (27.16 mi.) #

19:47 Completed Avenue of the Giants Marathon: it was really 26.2 miles but the Garmin tried to extrapolate for missing signal. Heh.. 3,267 (k ... #

19:48 MapMyRun export FAIL! heh #

04:48 Good morning! #

04:48 *yawn* #

05:14 Just finished oatmeal w/scoop of whey protein, and a banana. 5:13am, not too much more time... #

05:37 Just checked the weather, it shows 54 degrees & cloudy. Tempted to not wear head to foot clothing, but know better. #

06:12 "She" must be gone. At least, that's what Bill Withers tells me. #

06:13 Alright, enough of this. Off to get first place! Sub 2 hours here I come! #

07:08 Just arrived at the starting line, less than an hour until the gun! #

07:27 Bib #117 for those interested. #

07:39 Test from MoTwit... #

08:01 Starting soon... #

08:47 Miles 4 it's all uphill. tinyurl.com/d65nlj #

09:23 Allie the (?) runner. Mile 7 and I could not read your message but thanks. tinyurl.com/dylbho #

10:24 Halfway there. Looking at 440. tinyurl.com/clveho #

11:01 Time for a real tweet: 2:55:07, 15.65 miles. Slowwwww finish but gettin 'er done. #

11:02 Back hurts a tad, now back to running. #

12:09 Well this sucks. Old speedwalker-dude just passed me... coming the opposite direction. 4:04.05, 19.14 miles. #

13:43 Breaking a new world record: slowest marathon in the world. 5:38.44, 24 miles. But I'm finishing, by God! #

14:41 Everyone: I'm alive. It took me about 6 1/2 hours, but I finished. #

14:42 I'll be uploading a pic to Flickr in a second, but wanted to tell everyone. It all fell apart around mile 11 (!). #

18:29 Hey guys, finally back at the computer. Boy am I sore. :) #

18:33 BTW, did my voice tweets come across while I was running? #

18:34 Hmm, my twitpic didn't get posted. #

18:37 Wow the twitpic must not have posted because I didn't put any text in the body #

18:38 You know, at the marathon today I only saw two black people, a husband & wife. They weren't even running, they were Team in Training coaches #

18:39 Oh wait, I think I lost signal as I sent the twitpic. I'm sending it now. #

18:44 twitpic.com/4is6d - 2009 Avenue of the Giants Marathon Finish #

18:46 New Flickr upload: 2009 Avenue of the Giants Marathon Finish: Gregoriopolis posted a photo: .. tinyurl.com/c55jwe #

19:02 Looking at my finish picture, my time was more like 6:20. Cool haha #

19:02 I even forgot to turn off the Garmin & HRM at the end, so to get a real time I have to wait. #

19:25 RT @sbatson01: The New York Institute of Photography Interviewed me!www.nyip.com/studentlife/studentprofiles/stevebatson.html #

20:48 My wife brought me a Diet Dew and a bag of sweet potato chips! I'm loved! #

09:25 Finally getting out of town. I wanted to leave at 7! Yeah right. #

09:26 Didn't bring my headlamp, didn't bring my tent lantern. So that's how it's gonna be. #

20:40 Hey everyone. Sitting in humboldt, in a tent that's supposed to be waterproof but isn't... #

20:41 ...and a rainfly that's supposedly rainproof but obviously isn't, with no extra tarp. #

20:42 I have a very waterproof backpacking tent that will hold 2 ppl on a good day. We have 7 ppl. #

20:43 It also appears my wife wants to blame me for the whole debacle. #

20:44 She asks, "What are we going to do?" and I give options that only piss her off. #

20:46 Every marathon book or article says not to be stressed prior to a marathon. Uhhhh... #

20:54 OK back to the tent. Sorry to bring everyone down. #

21:51 Going to bed now. By getting lucky I was referring to having a happy family. Nite all. #

22:56 Doing the Avenue of Giants Marathon on Sunday! #
