Today's run was supposed to be a 3-miler. However, due to a day-long wedding of a friend, I missed my opportunity to run. I did, however, make up for it by drinking beer and overeating, which is, more or less, the same as running 3 miles. Not long ago, 3 miles would have seemed somewhat daunting. Now, I could go skip and jump 3 miles without breaking a sweat (that's not to say I wouldn't break anything - an ankle or a leg could easily be snapped by bounding about recklessly).
The marathon is about 173 hours away. I really need to plan out my in-flight meals for the occasion. If there's one area in which I've really fallen behind so far, it's energy and water intake while running. I learned, in my last long run before the race, that neglecting these needs can be a real deal breaker. My plan, as of now, is to bring along 4 or 5 gu products to eat/slurp/drink during the second half of the run. There will be water and sports drink stations along the course, but I don't think there will be gu kiosks.
This should be a map I charted (using mapmyrun.com) of the almost official race course:
