I'm off to run 26.2 miles!

Tomorrow is the big day!! Thank you to everyone for the well wishes and all the great tips! I took the advice very seriously from those of you who have done this before. I really tried to focus on rest and hydrating well this week. The rest part wasn't as easy as they hydrating, but I did the best I could and I am ready to do this!!

I was reading some recaps on other blogs from marathons from last weekend (and getting even more excited for mine!), and Sherry's just gave me shivers. You can read it here. I hope for an experience similar to hers! It seems like she just loved every minute of it!

My husband and I decided to make a long weekend out of this and are leaving Jake with Mema and PopPop. We haven't left him this long before, but I know he'll do great. He adores my parents, and they love having him! Though it will be nice to sleep in (haven't done much of that in the last year and a half!) and have some time together, I'm going to miss my little man!

Here are Jake and I after my first race after having him (he was about 4 1/2 months old). We both look just a little different. :) I was so glad to be back racing again!

Here he is cheering for me on my first half marathon!

Two of my very favorite cheerleaders: Jake and my Dad! My Dad wrote me a note and sent it with me...I can't open it. I know I will cry. I wish more than anything he was here with me. Oh well, I'll just have to do it again closer to home! :)
