Well, I am less than 24 hours out.
I got to Nashville yesterday morning. The flight wasn't bad... I think that my nerves were more focused on the race then anything else. We went to the expo, then this morning we ended up going on a short run, which was hilly!!! WOAH. Lotsa hills here in Nashville.
Anyway, it is really starting to hit me that tomorrow is the actual race. Five long months of preperation come down to hopefully less than five hours of work. I have so many emotions - I am nervous, I am scared and even a little doubtful. I want to finish this. I WILL FINISH THIS.
I don't really knwo what to expect tomorrow - except a lot of people, hills and some pain. But I know I can do it. I have to believe in myself. There are so many other peopel that believe in me, it is time to do it.
It really has been overwhelming the amount of support that I've received from friends and family. I know I am not in this alone. I know there are people out there thinking of me tomorrow. I am not doing this alone. I may be out there running but there are people pushing me along at home -- and that is what makes me know I can do this. So, thank you to all of you that believe in me.
And a special thank you to those that will actually BE there with me - the Keoghs, Ryan Scholl, my parents and of course, my rock, Tom.
So the next time I post, it will be over. I will be a marathon FINISHER.
26.2.
