UPDATE : Marathon #3 is successfully completed!!
Thanks for all the good wishes...they really mean the world to me 
I ran a PR of 3:52:10....I AM THRILLED and jumping for joy!! (I'm finally in the under 4 hour club...yay) I saw my DH and niece and nephew a bunch of times along the way...it really was a great race and I am so proud of myself.
The run itself was wonderful but very hilly and challenging. I experienced very little pain and really enjoyed every mile until 23! At 23 my quads got really sore and tired which is typical. Don't know why my bursitis didn't act up...guess I was doing something right with how I was treating it!!
Next up Marine Corp on Halloween. There I hope to bring my time down my 7 minutes and qualify for Boston!

Re: Marathon #3 is just days away...
good luck...I can totally sympathize with training. with the snow we had up here, I just couldn't get any 20 miler in, so I decided to drop out of Sunday's race. I now know, no spring marathons for me - too hard! Sorry I won't be down there suffering with you (I think you scared me about the hills too  )
Try not to let taper madness get to you. Every time you get nervous, drink some water to make sure you are really hydrated before Sunday. Try to sleep tonight, since it will be hard to sleep tomorrow night!
The temperature will be perfect Sunday (30-50), so if it rains - it rains - at least it won't be Hotlanta!
walk the aid stations if you have to
and REMEMBER less than 1% of the population runs ONE marathon! you are in a special group now that you are on your third!
