With 3 days to go I am feeling a bit emotional. I wanted to take the time in this post to thank friends, family and running blog friends alike for their support over the past few months and especially the past week. The outpouring of emails and phone calls of people just checking in and the motivating comments left here means so much. They have all brought a smile to my face! I know I have put in the work over the past months but it is only human to doubt oneself. When the weatherman started predicting the warmest day since 1947 friends and RBF's were there talking me through it. Others are emailing to ask where I need them to be on the course to support me.As one wise friend reminded me today was to just remember the race is my payoff for the months of training. If that doesn't put it in perspective I don't know what would!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Running seems like a solitary sport..but it takes a village!
That's what we're here for!! Sounds like you have everything in perfect perspective today. That is a good thing. This is in my blog today and is from an article I just read. I think it bodes well for you :
"People who write about all the things they are thankful for are optimistic about the upcoming week and more satisfied overall with their lives... They also feel physically stronger. It's hard to be bitter and mad when you're feeling grateful..."
How cool is that?? You are going to rock. We'll be here. Please remember to savor the moments and have a fantastic experience :^)
Right Nancy! That's what we're here for! I know my BRFs help me a lot so I hope we have been as much help to you. I'm so excited for your run, I know you'll do great!
That's great Nancy!! ITA!!
You're going to rock this thing chica!!! We'll all be here routing for you and all the other RBF's running Chicago!
Jamie, Just wanted to wish you the best tomorrow and know that so many BRFs are going to be with you the whole way.
As Nancy says, you are going to soooooo rockkkkkk!
Have fun and make it memorable. Can't wait for your race report.
Dang, the tracking site is flaky. I was stalking for awhile but can't get any information now. I hope you are having a great time!!
Thinking about you today - hope your race went ok.
Jamie
I hope everything went ok for you on Sunday. I was thinking about you Sunday morning and wishing you the best.
