Tomorrow I will finish a marathon.
Yesterday Alexa handed me a booklet of well-wishes from my cross team. Lots of my own words coming back to roost. "Don't Walk" "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" {yep, that's on the playlist} "Don't die" "You can do it". I love XC kids and I love what running does for people. I am so thankful that I'm a part of that community...and in 24 hours I can say, "I've run a marathon."
In a few hours I will go pick up my bib {#14}, pick up Patrick at the bus stop & eat my pre-race pasta dinner at the Hogans.
My watch and iPod are charged. The playlist is loaded. The clothes are laid out. There is rain in the forecast. And I'm thankful that it poured during my 20 mile run, because that doesn't scare me. What happens happens & I'm going to run my first marathon.
Excitement is winning over anxiety.
I am as ready as I can be.
