I just picked up my packet for the race tomorrow. That’s always fun to do. Even walking around I could tell that my legs were TIRED. Bummer. I guess you never know how you’ll feel on race day, but I’m pretty sure I’m not going to feel great… I’m just exhausted (both physically and mentally).

Huge smile on my face: I think I’m getting better!!!! I’m going in again tomorrow (thank you, Jim) & hope it improves just as much as it did from Thursday’s visit. I’m going in early tomorrow morning. Oh, my GOODNESS, I would be SOOO happy!
