Buy A Mile!

Now that you've paid off your holiday bills and are hopefully awaiting a tax refund, it's time to buy a mile of my marathon!

Here's a mile-by-mile summary of the race. Check out a map& elevation profile here. Let me know which mile you want, and I'll dedicate that mile to you on race day. (And probably write your name somewhere on my body so I won't forget!) I'll be carrying an MP3 player w/ a mix matched to my goal pace, so feel free to send me audio love, too, and I'll add it at the appropriate point.
