  • 06:56:56: The network's not much better this morning. And so it goes. :(
  • 06:57:59: OK this sucks, I've gained weight. Nothing I can do about it before the race.
  • 06:58:42: Wt: 178.6, RHR: 49, BF: 17.6% #myhealthstats #fb
  • 06:59:43: Good morning, @LaylaBohm, @biscuiterie, & @derrickstang! Don't forget to get your carb & hydration on today.
  • 07:00:10: The network seems to have settled the past few minutes
  • 07:03:22: I swear, they must have a 56k modem to share between motel rooms here
  • 07:03:55: I may end up not doing a race report until I get home. Meh.
  • 07:04:46: I went to bed at 8pm, slept until 6. 10 hours' sleep, baby.
  • 07:10:41: Dude, my son just discovered huffing by accident. *rolls eyes*
  • 07:11:10: not huffing. whippets. excuse me.
  • 07:20:24: 48 degrees in Weott, we may have a 50 degree start in the morning.
  • 07:21:20: AND, it says "WIND: Calm" thank GOD. No wind like yesterady, woo!
  • 07:25:25: Oh no, I've proven myself to be an old curmudgeon in the eyes of my kids. I called my son's toy skateboard a "car".
  • 07:37:32: Whoops, I'm accidentally wearing last year's Avenue of the Giants Marathon t-shirt, however did that happen? #fb
  • 12:45:14: Finally at the Samoa Cookhouse, and @RunRonRun is right. I have Sprint here.
  • 12:50:58: Best place to eat up here! (@ Samoa Cookhouse) http://4sq.com/d2yuPT
  • 13:01:11: Hardening arteries in the name of the marathon... http://twitpic.com/1k1usg
  • 17:14:53: I'm at Target (2525 4th st, Eureka). http://4sq.com/cgwv4q
  • 20:02:18: Made it back to the motel. I swear it took as long as it did to get back from Eureka as it did to drive all the way up here. #kids
  • 20:03:04: Hey cool, the gloves I bought are "designed for women"
  • 20:03:27: But we've talked about my girl hands, right, @cyberpenguin?
  • 20:50:46: My yearly visit to the Samoa Cookhouse becomes this year's pre-race hardened arterial explosion. http://bit.ly/9uf2Q2
  • 21:37:16: WELL... it's that time. I'll creep in for a bit in the morning but no live tweeting for me during the race. Goodnight all.

  • 16:29:32: Also no live tweeting this time around, no Sprint service up here I'm afraid. No data.
  • 16:34:44: I should also add, no #foursquare check-ins up here either. *grumble* I may get lucky in Eureka, but not here.
  • 17:02:45: Paging @LaylaBohm, @derrickstang, & @biscuiterie :)
  • 18:40:59: WOW internet sucks in this motel... 651k down, 446k up. Gonna reboot to see if it helps.
