I definitely need my rest since I&#039;ll practically be running for nearly 6 hours. Well, this year, my goal (albeit I didn&#039;t really train) is to finish the marathon in under 6 hours; 5 hours 30 minutes to be exact! I know it&#039;s a long shot but if I can try to motivate myself during the race with some sort of time, I might actually make it. It&#039;s not like I&#039;m going to kill myself trying to finish at that exact time, though&#8230; LOL, I guess I should just tell myself that my goal is to finish between 5:30 to 6h&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#039;ve probably mentioned this before but I&#039;ll be bringing my mobile with me in case I get bored and (lol) start texting\/bothering Sheryl or maybe my sis or just some random people reading my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/RaDragon\">tweets<\/a>.
