Subject: Almost there...

I write this coming off of 2 days home from work... because I've been SICK!! Who the hell gets sick 2 weeks before their first marathon?! It sucked, but I am feeling a lot better... which is a serious improvement since yesterday I couldn't get out of bed and slept all day. Not a good time.

Another Reach the Beach has come and gone... we definitely had a different crowd from last year. This year's crowd got a lot more sleep, which I guess is a good thing in the long run, but I definitely spent a lot of time wandering around by myself at transition areas!! Still, in retrospect, I've once again been blown away by the people I've met through this race. They are so damn dedicated and passionate, I always feel good leaving the group.

And the Yankees seem to have pulled it off for another year! It's about time! We're very excited about this!

In 2 weeks I will be checked into my hotel and hopefully getting dinner and getting ready to walk around at the expo on Friday... and then resting up for the race on Saturday! I can't wait to finish it... I'm hoping I can do it! I want ONE marathon under my belt, and I want to move on to many, many more. Next year I want to do more relay races with different teams, and I want to master the 5k! But until then...
