Getting Antsy....
...Just went on the Shamrock website to check out some things about the race. Today was the first day that I was really ANTSY - it's coming so soon and I'm so excited!!! My cold is better today, but I was forbidden from running (it's normally my off day, but I was so excited to be feeling better and wanted to so badly!) so I just did cardio and weights. I tried the new special Gatorade Endurance formula that they will be serving on race day - apparently the important thing is to do nothing new on race day - don't wear anything new, do anything different, eat the same stuff, drink the same stuff. It's okay - not my favorite, but oh well. Saw on the website what Carb-Boom flavors they'll be giving on the course - never tried those before, so I may have to skip them!! I'm starting to get bummed that the race is on a Sunday and that David and the kids won't see me finish (I'm dragging them out at 7 AM so they can see me start before having to head to church), but getting so excited that Kelli is coming to be spectator extraordinaire!!! Also getting nervous about the fact that I have to run the half-marathon without my IPOD!!! It's poor race etiquette, Kelli says. I've never run that long without my music, so it should be interesting...stay tuned...

Katy--this is SOOOO exciting!!! We are all SOOO proud of you, and you can't imagine HOW hard we'll all be cheering for you!!! This is such a major accomplishment and I know that you are going to do SOOOO well!! You'll be SOO excited, you won't even miss that IPOD! If you want, I can come and run beside you and sing to you ever so sweetly the whole time! (I'm sure that I could whip up and train with my extra 25 pounds & baby this week!) he he!! :) Love you!
One more thing--you KNOW--if you twist Natalie's & my arm, we could both pull out our adorable cheerleading skirts and wear them on the sidelines while we cheer for you!! he he! Too much coffee today, I think!
i'm excited for you!! I can't wait to see pics so make sure that Kelli is loaded with a camera to snapshot every mile...Oh, Katy...so excited, I have little butterflies in my stomach for you...I think because I know that I will be doing it sometime too!! You have worked hard!

GOOD LUCK!!! What an amazing journey you have been on! Can't wait to see how it went...and by the way, there is no way on God's green earth that my cheeleading skirt still fits. I would need a prego one and I am not even pregnant!!!!!
You will do great!!! I hear that the adrenalin will be your music!!!
You and Jamie are an inspiration!! Now it's time for me to get rid of this baby gut I've got.
Too bad your sister's not running with you, that way you'd have company and won't even miss the iPod! One last week to train adn you'll be able to get to it tomorrow-with or without a little sniffle!
Girl, you are getting close!!!! I know you're excited!! Maybe next time I'll be with you!
