Three Things Thursday

1. Although the idea of the marathon has been on my mind for ages, it just sunk in that it's less than 2 days away now. I'm starting to feel real butterflies in my stomach. I was printing out my confirmation to be able to pick up my number tomorrow and I saw the date. 03/29/2010 is the day I registered for this. It is shocking to know the day is actually here six months later.

2. The forecast couldn't be better:
3. Despite my nerves, things are looking up. My cold is gone, although I keep thinking I have a sore throat but I think I'm imagining it, just like I'm imagining weird pains in my legs. Also, I won a giveway over at Jen is Green. That's always exciting! Will report back after the Freedom's Run and looking forward to the chance to saying hello to the few other bloggers and DailyMilers that are running!

  2. You're going to do great!! The weather certainly is perfect!

    Don't worry too much about your pains/sore throat, it's totally normal to have some phantom problems right before a big race :)
