4 DAYS UNTIL THE FALL 50! WHOOHOOO!

Holy bananas…we are getting CLOSE!

THE NAMES! THE NAMES!

They just keep coming in, and I absolutely LOVE IT!

If you’re reading this and have someone you’d like me to carry with me for those 50.7 miles, PLEASE don’t hesitate to send me their name! Whether they’re fighting cancer, a survivor, or someone we remember with love, I would be honored to add them to my race bib.

Yesterday started bright and early at the Y with TRX • Strength Training • TRX, followed by an easy 3½-mile walk.

The good news? My coughing wasn’t nearly as bad! Of course, it wasn’t too cold outside either, which definitely helped. I’m also getting more comfortable using my inhaler, so that’s another positive!

Now it’s all about those final preparations!

Getting my nutrition organized, studying where all the aid stations are, laying out my clothes, finishing my packing list, and of course…

SHOES! SHOES! SHOES!

Which pair am I wearing? How many pairs am I bringing? Because apparently, one pair of running shoes is NEVER enough!

It’s hard to believe that 19 weeks of this journey have brought me to these final few days.

I’m feeling grateful, excited, and ready to enjoy every moment while continuing to take care of my body.

And here’s a little reminder for anyone chasing a goal of their own:

“Keep believing in yourself, celebrate how far you’ve come, and remember that your determination may be the very thing that inspires someone else to chase a dream they once thought was impossible!”

4 DAYS. 50.7 MILES. HUNDREDS OF NAMES. ONE INCREDIBLE PURPOSE.
