T-2 Days and counting

   Excuse me, has anyone seen the month of March? It was just here a second ago, and now it's gone! I can't believe it is already race time. Two Days! In fact, this time two days from now I'll probably be cruising down the home stretch! Holy Moly!
    It has been funny the past few days as I've had quite a few people ask me if I'm ready. My standard response has been, "I hope so." And really, I do. I have done all I could to get here, and now it's time to ride it out. No turning back now. I am feeling very confident that it will go well though. I have so much support from my friends and my family, and there will be so much energy on race day! Not to mention the fact that I am invincible. (Yeah, I like to tell myself that.)
  With my last successful training run done today, I really would like to make sure I give my thank you's as needed. Training for something like this doesn't happen alone. I may have been the runner, but my number one cheerleader runs this show. Tracy has been so amazing. She's been my executive chef, my editor for these blogs, my coach, my massage therapist. . .  I don't know how she puts up with it all. My family has been very supportive too. This has been an emotional journey for all of us, and they have helped me to spread the word, to raise money, picked me up on my destination runs, and also dealt with me through it all. Thanks too to everyone who has read this and talked with me about the marathon. Without everyone's constant support, I would have fallen off the wagon long ago. So thank you all so much. I can't wait to post a success story on Monday.
   I will post a blog tomorrow after visiting the expo and driving the route. And Sunday will be my big finale just before the race. Stick with me! You can track me through the race if you like by registering at this site:
