Iron Man or what??

Today was busy at work - got plenty of stuff done and the day went by fairly quickly...however, the temps dropped a fair bit in the last 24hrs.
I left work and went to NYRR to p/u my tag # and stuff unsure if I had actually registered for this race; since I never got the race reminder email from NYRR that is usual before any race I've registered for. Luckily I had indeed registered for this race since my tag was there when I looked for it - that at least saved me the $5 that I would have had to pay for last minute registration.
After the p/u I went to a coffee house and got a double espresso and then went to see "Iron Man." It was a really enjoyable flick, Robert Downey Jr. was great and Gwenyth was bearable and Jeff Bridges was almost unrecognizable....I was surprised the film was pg even though it wasn't voilent per se - some parts were probably a bit much for kids!! Or perhaps I'm getting old and conservative.
After the movie I hopped on the train and stopped off for some penne ala vodka in my hood and home for a very uninteresting Datline show...hopefully I'll sleep soundly and have not to many travel problems in the AM as I head out to Coney Island for the BROOKLYN HALF MARATHON!!!!!!!! I've got admit that I'm excited about this race...I hope it goes well and a pr would be great but to finish with not too much pain would be a great end to the week that was. IRON MAN!!!! that's going to be my mantra and motivation tomorrow as I leave the boardwalk on Coney Island and head to the finish at Prospect Park!!!!! Let's hope it's a Good Day tomorrow!!
I need to put a good motivational running mix together on my Ipod for tomorrow's race - song of the week this week for me is:
"Gods of War" Def Leppard Hysteria album...I rediscovered this gem earlier this week when I was downloading their new album.
