In 2 Days...

Well Folks... The Time Has Come...

Tomorrow I board my plane with my little Alice and other team members and head up to beautiful San Francisco. We'll get in, check into our rooms, go to the pre-race Expo, eat our pre-race pasta dinner, get back to our rooms, not sleep for the excitement, get up, eat peanut butter sandwiches and bananas, drink coffee, get our gear on, go to the bathroom like 16 million times, and then head out to the race.

How am I doing? I'm tired and a little tense. I've had a lot to do this final week. Gert, the hubby, is already up in the Bay Area for work, so I've had Alice alone for the week. Fun, but maybe not the smartest idea, cause being a single mom for the week has left me a bit overtired. The good news is that I've seemed to have skirted the cold Alice caught last week, and that she's still coughing from. I credit massive doses of Zinc. I've also spent the week getting last minute gear together: trying out my new Ipod, washing my race clothes, printing all my contributors names on my race tee shirt, and going to Kmart for 99 cent ponchos. There is a 60% chance of showers on Sunday.

Tonight I pack and cross my fingers that I don't forget anything.

I want to thank everybody who's called and emailed me this last week for your kind thoughts and enthusiasm.

The next time I write, I will have completed a marathon and will have a ton of pictures and memories to share.

Love, Deb
