And 20

Training to prepare for marathon training is complete.  I hope I'll be able to jump into the scheduled 35 miles next week, 'cause it only ramps up from there.

I still have to settle down on paces; despite being advised by pretty much everyone that as a first time marathoner, I should be happy just to finish, I am going to go against everyone's better judgement and set a goal of maintaining a 10:00 pace.

I'm going to just shoot myself in the foot right off the bat with that.  And awaaaaaaaaay we go!
