Butterfly City

Two days from now I will be (hopefully) past the halfway point of the Shamrock Marathon.

I woke up this morning - a rest day - full of nerves. It only got worse at work when everyone asked me "So, are you ready?" Gosh, I hope so. My co-workers have been very sweet, though, with their questions and encouragement. My lifestyle is so different from most of theirs, and we are always asking each other for more information. My favorite question came yesterday: "Are you going to win?" Well, no. I explained that I wouldn't even be close to the winning time. Her disappointed look said "Why do it if you're not going to win". I hadn't even thought about it that way.

Dave, Mom, and I are driving down to Virginia Beach tomorrow afternoon, eating out, and spending the night. Hopefully I can keep my meals down!

Send fast thoughts, please.
