I'm San Francisco Bound!

Tomorrow morning I leave for San Francisco! I can't believe the marathon is here. I have been going from extremely nervous to extremely excited.... Ahhh! ;)

You will have a full report next week. I have a few tricks up my sleeve, for when the race seems long and unbearable. One thing I've done is write ALL of my donors names on the back of my race day singlet (shirt). That's right, I had room for all of you, and of course my honored teammates. So, literally, y'all will be 'on my back,' throughout the race, reminding me of the generousity you displayed in donating in my name. I have other tricks, but will let you know if they work out next week. Here's a hint for one: I will be thinking about a former Razorback football player... and not just because he's SOOO good-looking!


Wish me luck!!!


Blessings,

Mandi


P.S. I purchased new running shoes, Asics-with more cushioning. They look a little something like this, saaweet!

Thanks Bill! And Thanks Sarah South! I made it, I did it, I finished! Blog about it to come, but might be next week. I don't want to scare my fellow trainees who are running the Marine Corp Marathon this Sunday!!!
