    Will do. Get this app to track my progress live on Nov 1st:

    TCS NYC Marathon by Tata Consultancy Services https://appsto.re/us/SaTvR.i

    My number is 63537

    I'm in the last wave that starts at 11am. Probably won't cross starting line til 11:10am. Trying to finish race in 5 hours though 5.5 is probably more realistic since I've never done it before. We'll see. I did half marathon in 2:23.

    Hey, doubling your speed would have put you 20th overall in last year's marathon. ;)

    What you've done so far is very impressive. Good luck on Nov. 1st.

    The bet was $25, but just donate it to a charity of Kingspeeds choice.
    (speed, please let him know a charity you support)

    Speed, congratulations, what a wonderful accomplishment! I'm proud of you and for you.

    Bodyman5000, thanks for being stand up and coming directly here to pay off. Good man.

    I'll give it to any charity he chooses so long as it isn't one of those 80 percent goes to salaries and "expenses" kinds of ripoffs.

    Way to go Kingspeed, that's not an easy thing to do.
