The excitement is just too much...
I'm not sure I can even explain the excitement over here. Well, with me anyway. I can't believe we are almost down to 30 days. I often think the following things. Repeatedly.
How did I get this far?
How am I going to do this?
How will I add 5 more miles.
I hope I don't have to pee.
I hope I don't walk.
How will I see all of my people?
I hope they will be able to see me.
Can one hold their pee for 26.2 miles?
Why is it soooooo far?
I think I am more of a 1/2 marathoner.
Too late now.
I'll find out the answers to all of those questions/statements in 32 days. THIRTY TWO DAYS!
Ella is reading over my shoulder and saying,
"Good luck going in a porta potty, no one wants to do that." Thanks Ella.
Speaking of Ella Beans, I found this pic from a few years ago. If only I can channel this. Maybe I could get my mental game right.

I'm gonna work on it.
This right here.
Just kidding. Hive fives and hugs for EVERYONE that day. So basically I will see you all in like 12 hours.
Okay so reality check. My friend Sandy and I talk just about every day. This is a recent text message.
So that's our new slogan. YOU are NOT the best. We might even put it on a t shirt. So watch for it. It's catchy. Say it. Say it to someone. Then duck.
So my "surprise" party is 3 days away and while I am no longer surprised because they had to tell me to get me there, it still really is a surprise party because I have not been allowed to help out at all. And there's group texts and messages and plans being made. There are meetings and fun things and surprise happenings and while I miss my friends because they are being so secretive...
I LOVE them and I CANNOT wait.
So we hope to see you there. I mean where else would you want to be on a Friday night on the first day of spring. It may only be like 10 degrees, but inside it will be cozy and warm and I will be offering hugs and asking for tips and advice on how to survive what I have gotten myself into.
So come join the fun!!

Many Laughs (probably at my expense, it's fine)
