…until the Inaugural Camp Pendleton Hard Corps Marathon<\/a>\u00a0and I think I’m freaking out. My right calf feels fine now but the troublesome left calf is still, well, bothering me. The recovery process cannot go fast enough and I fear that I won’t be fully fit for this weekend’s 20-miler. I will<\/em> go swimming tomorrow, though, so in terms of general fitness, I should be ok. ZOMG. I’m scurred…\u00a0 >_<<\/p>\n

Here’s what I can expect from the HC Marathon:<\/p>\n

Goodies:<\/em>
\n– Inaugural Hard Corps Marathon Technical T-shirt guaranteed
\n– Great finisher medallion presented when you finish the event
\n– Generous Goody Bag<\/p>\n

Technical info:<\/em>\u00a0
\n– Chip timing
\n– USA Track & Field Certified Course
\n– Aid stations every 2 miles and tremendous course support<\/p>\n

Even more goodies:<\/em>
\n– Free Carbo-Load dinner the night before the event
\n– Free Beer Garden for participants
\n– 3-day expo with giveaways and drawings
\n– Live music on the course and at the finish line<\/p>\n

Guinness Book of World Records worthy:<\/em>
\n– Only marathon in the United States to be held on a military base<\/p>\n

Since there will only be 4,000 participants, it’s going to be a rather small affair… And since there’s a 6-hour time limit (13:40 pace), most running it will probably leave me behind and I shall embarrassingly be running on my own.
