done.

done with the training, ready for the big day!  i've already started to pack my bag, and thanks (?) to this warm weather, it's kinda easy to plan the race day outfit.  though, i am still a little iffy about the top/short combination.  still feeling anxious about the weather, but i think i have enough experience to work around the heat.  i've already backed off of setting a strict goal time.  it sounds like the perfect kind of day to run, but when it's 26.2 miles, things change a bit.  i'm thinking that i have got to drink, drink, drink, and take the first half very easy.  then, if i have enough gas at the end, i can go for negative splits, which is the best way to run a marathon, anyway!  i'm ready.

so excited for you Katie! I'll be thinking about you/praying for you! Can't wait to hear all about it. Hope Michael is feeling better too. Good luck!

Good luck Katie. I admire the fact that you trained in the cold and snow. That's dedication. Bet you didn't expect such warm weather in March, but you'll do great. Lots and lots of water!!!
