no backing out now

i'm headed to logan tomorrow so we can start our ragnar race bright and early friday morning.

by early, i literally mean 3:45 am.  yikes.

i've got all sorts of emotions going on... i always psych myself out before a race

i never think i'm fast enough or strong enough or prepared enough
and i really don't know if my knees can handle running the hills

i found out yesterday that other people who run ragnar keep track of how many "kills" they get.  

a "kill" is every time they pass someone.  i hope i'm not that someone too often.

but at this point, there's nothing more i can do

other than get a good night's sleep, drink a lot of water, and say a prayer that my shoes don't give me blisters.

but i'm definitely excited.

i'm running with a great team and for a great cause.

many of my fabulous family and friends have donated to the acs

i'm going to make some new friends 

and rekindle friendships from high school

the weather is supposed to be nice and cool and maybe even a little rainy

i'm going to push myself to run further than i ever have

19 miles total to be exact

i've got some great new tunes that include the new adele and lady gaga cds

and i was able to find new headphones tonight that i've been looking for for the past 6 months.

it was meant to be.  

we'll be sure to take lots of pictures so i can do a post dedicated solely to the run so i can show you just how awesome team "running for birthdays" is.  

we're still fundraising to raise the last little bit to reach our goal.  

if you'd like to donate, you can go here.

thanks for all your support... see you at the finish line!
