Only 3 more days...
...the countdown has definitely begun! Race day is Sunday, and I'm really starting to get nervous about things. Today was my LAST run before the marathon, and it was so weird! I weighed myself today (Thursday is always weigh-in day for me), and I've officially lost 44 pounds training for this - crazy, isn't it? the weather has been beautiful this week, and hopefully should stay nice this weekend as well. I've got my most favorite running clothes ready to wear - very comfortable, not supposed to wear anything new - only the comfortable, broken in clothes, so I think I'm good. The kids and I went down to the beach this afternoon to play and I seriously got heart palpitations as I was driving up to the boardwalk. I just kept thinking "in 3 more days, I'll be running along this course!" Then as I was parking the stroller before going down onto the sand, I was taking my socks & shoes off to leave up in the stroller. I was still in my running shoes, and as I was leaving them in the stroller, I thought "what if someone takes my stroller? My shoes for the race are in there and I would be up the creek!" Not concerned about the fact that my diaper bag, wallet, and keys are in there. But that my running shoes are in there! Crazy! I have a "runner girl" magnet on my car that Courtney sent to me (HAVE to take a picture of it - it's the CUTEST!) , and my sister is arriving tomorrow night!!! It's very exciting, but I'm getting nervous!!! I'm going to go on the website and look at the course now....
