Uncategorized October 20th, 2007I haven’t been to this city in years. It’s very exciting, all of this hustle and bustle of a big city. After we arrived and checked into our hotel last night, we walked over to Union Square, which is where the marathon expo tents are located. Inside, we got our race packets, which included our bibs and the chip to track our time tomorrow.
We’re staying at The Westin and this is the view from our room:
The weather couldn’t be more perfect. Sunny, no wind, low 70s.
This morning, we went back over to the expo and took advantage of the free massages they were giving out. It was packed with people, so we had to wait about 30 minutes for the 5 minutes massage, but it was worth it. They also had manicure and foot massage stations, but again, long lines. There are over 23,000 runners here for this marathon and get this, together we have raised over 18.5 million dollars for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! Here’s the HUGE billboard over the Nike Store.
Pretty cool, huh?
We found our names on the wall of names.
It’s all very exciting to be a part of something this HUGE. I am glad I’m doing early start though. Only 1000 people for early start so I’ll miss the incredible crush of people for the regular start. You can’t go faster than 15 minutes a mile to qualify for early start, that’s why everybody doesn’t do it. They even have a police pace car to make sure we don’t go faster.
If you’re interested in the course, you can take a virtual tour here. I’m really excited about seeing this much of the city. From the Nike site:
“The race will kick off in Downtown San Francisco at Union Square and head through the financial district past the famous TransAmerica building, along the San Francisco Bay past Fisherman’s Wharf, Aquatic Park, Ghirardelli Square, Fort Mason and Marina Green while exposing breathtaking views of Alcatraz and The Golden Gate Bridge. The course then travels through the Presidio and Sea Cliff district, out to the Great Highway, through Golden Gate Park and south along Lake Merced, finishing just north of the Great Highway along the Pacific Ocean.”
I’m going to get a little rest before we go out tonight to the kick off dinner.
Until next time…

Almost everyone that makesmoney on the internet (even the millionaires) do so through affiliate marketing. Being successful in affiliate marketing involves knowing the formula that makes other affiliate marketers successful. For instance, autoblogging. Autoblogging is one of the least well-known forms of making money for quite some time… basically because it’s quite difficult to make a good auto-blog. Yet, when done right, it can provide you with a perpetual passive income with the only real work required being the setting up process. Video Marketing, and several other marketing strategies are all designed to drive traffic to your site, can be incorporated steadily in order to raise the position your site appears in the SERPs when any one searches for a term related to your site. And yet, even this can be totally automated.

About a week ago i downloaded The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Torrent from http://www.games-iso.com and, despite the fact its not really a new game, its simply the best XBOX 360 game ever made in my opinion!
