I know its a bit silly, but I feel like a kid at Christmas right now waiting to see what the Weatherman will bring us for the Marathon on Sunday! Right now weather.com has Mobile as:
Mostly Cloudy - Low 58° , High 73°
The seventies are great for hanging out in Bienville after the run, but they can sneak up on you and cause some heck in a marathon. Make sure you guys drink fluids early and often in the race, even if you don't feel hot or thirsty in the first few miles.
We will have water stations roughly every 2 miles (some a little more, some a little less). The approximate locations of the water stations are miles: 2, 3.5, 5, 7.5, 9.1, 10.2, 11.5, 13.1, 14.5, 15, 17.1, 18.5, 20, 21.2, 22.6 and 24.5. (One of the stops has even promised to be color coordinated in red dresses . . . )
Make sure ya'll check out the scheule of events: The Dog River Boys will be playing on Saturday evening, and Elliot Morris is playing at the post race festivities.
