I slept in a whole 1/2 hr this morning, but then laid there for another hour.  It is amazing what a difference that makes.  I went and ran 3 miles today.  I had no intention of pushing other than I was going to do two 1/4 mile pick ups while I was on the flat part.  The mile and 1/2 home were just fast because it had some down hill.  Overall I felt great today and a little more optimistic about Saturday.  

 I finally went and got my marathon shorts last night, I procrastinated wwwaaaayyy to long!  They are SHORT! YIKES!  I think that they will work good though.

What a great new pic! You'll look great in your shorts- you've got great long legs!

Awesome new picture!

The time is here! You and your short shorts will do awesome! Maybe you can cheer me on at the finish line! You see, if everyone who comes in before me is there at the finish for me, I will have a heck of a crew cheering me over the finish line! That's the advantage of being the last one in.....:o)
