Kummerspec....

Yeah, that one had me running to google as well. :-)  One of our funny guy vendors logged into a web meeting with this as his name today and after I figured out what the heck it meant, I sort of instantly related.  It's the weight gained as a result of emotional overeating.  So, no, I haven't gained a ton of weight or anything, but did gain 2 lbs due to my incessant evening snacking these past couple of weeks.  Running around 190 where I was averaging 188 the past couple of months.  Something about getting the loooong runs in that make me think I can eat "see-food" (as in, I see food and eat it).

Anyhoo, the marathon is actually this weekend and not last, as some of you fine folks thought.  17 hours away to be exact.  I'll have my iPhone with Mapmyrun on if you want to track me there (just need to send a friend request if you have it).

Goal is a sub 4hr marathon with the intended purpose of moving myself up a corral for Disney in January.  I was C corral last year and want to at least get up to B and think sub-4hrs will do it (or so they told me last year).  Yes, my name is Chris and I'm a corral snob....*hi Chris*  ......  ;-)

Nerves?  Well, yes and no.  I think they are caffeine fueled at the moment, but honestly, I feel like I could run sub 4hr without too much effort.  It's the ITB issue I had two years ago that go through my head.... Much has changed since then though.  I have added around 50% more miles in training for this one, I have added in a number of IT band stretches, and I'm around 5 lbs lighter than I was then..... Still, I feel like I've got alot invested in doing well and all I have to reflect on is the issue I had during that last marathon (not counting Goofy...a whole different animal that I was pretty happy with).

Anyhoo, I'm ready.  Packet pick-up tonight, then bed, then run...See y'all on the flip side!
