"If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run."

Marathon Eve

Pasta dinner's down and we're loaded up on carbs. I'm feeling ready to run. Honestly, I have been itching for a run for the last two days. All the excitement of the Expo and everyone's encouraging words have really pumped me up. There's not much left to say for me right now except that I am excited and looking forward to the race. I'm not too worried about the weather anymore, it will be warm one but we'll have fun.

We had the opportunity to meet Dean Karnazes yesterday and hear him speak which was a great way to kick off race weekend. He left me with some positive thoughts which I will do my best to remember tomorrow when I need them. Basically, when it gets tough out there remember that it's about you and each step you take. Just focus on one step after another and don't even think about how far the finish may be or how much you have left to run. Run in the moment.

Thank you everyone for the kind words of support and good luck wishes, it really means a lot! 10 hours and 10 minutes to go, woot woot!
