#StopTheClot #NYCMarathon #MarathonTraining IT IS TIME...

3 Long months of training...

Attempting to figure out this 26.2 Mile puzzle...

I don't want to walk or even slow down...

Just hope my legs can hold on and handle the pounding...

Can I be patient enough at the start and not go out too fast...?

Can I handle the 4 hours of waiting that I have ahead of me prior to the start..?

How am I going to stay warm until my start at 9:40AM...?

Keep looking to find an edge that will keep me running the entire length of the course...

Wait...

...

The last item I have resolved... I do have the edge that will keep me running the length of the course. 

I will have with me on my polka-dots the names of all of the CLOT BUSTER Athlete of the Month folks that I have featured on this blog along with many other names of blood clot survivors that I know that I want to celebrate during the 26.2 Miles. 

I know that the polka dots on my shirt will not be enough and I don't want them to be enough to names all of the survivors that I know.  But someday with so many Clot Busters running out there we will have plenty of polka-dots to represent them all.

Follow my twitter feed @clotbuster so that you can see the progress I am making to get my jersey ready for Sunday.

Also if you are interested on how "well" I am doing on this journey you can check out the following link that provides several options on how to keep track of me >>> http://www.ingnycmarathon.org/spectators/trackmyrunners.htm

I have a goal time in mind but I don't want to make it public as I may jinx myself and I want to give myself the best possible chance to meet that goal time.  I am shooting for Personal Best because that is the only way I know how to honor all those survivors that I know.

Finally, THANK YOU to all of you donated to my fundraising effort.  Myself and all of NBCA appreciates your contribution very much.

Can't believe that it is here...

Time to get my polka-dots on and see if I can make it.

Thanks for reading,

The Clot Buster
