What... no ipod....?!?

This week has been terrific training wise. My large body is really starting to show signs that the plan is working. Tonight I played a round of golf and then, went to the gym to pay my "dues". As I was listening to my ipod it dawned on that during the TC Marathon I won't be allowed to listen to my beloved training tool. Tonight as I listened to D'Angelo, The Lyricist Lounge, Walter Hawkins and Karl Orff it gave me  absolute comfort and it empowerd me to push on. Not having music will be tough but, I've already been told by many folks that they'll be running part of the marathon with me which IS music to my ears. the excitement continues to build.
