*deep breath*

i'm packing my bags, i'm washing my running clothes. i'm charging my cell phone and camera. i'm almost off. almost off to run 17 miles in the mountains. keep me in your thoughts please. especially the good thoughts of "i hope she doesn't get lost in the dark" or "i hope she doesn't fall off a mountain". that would be good. i hope all her friends are cool and don't tease her.

and if you are still thinking that way, maybe a couple good thoughts in there for big d. ones that include keeping fussy happy. or helping fussy sleep. that kind of stuff. i know big d will pull it off splendidly. i hope i do.

i was holding fussy a couple of minutes ago, and although i am excited about my time away, i felt a little sad about missing him for the next day. absence makes the heart fonder, right? i hope so. i hope he doesn't really hate me by saturday evening.

i've only been training for this for 10 months. i know i can totally do it, i just hope i can totally kick ass doing it, you know?

so that is me, that's the plan. i'm psyching myself up for this. i hope i make it.

Okay, I think I tried to leave a comment and it didn't work so here goes...
YOU ROCK I'm so excited for you! I really can't sleep. I got out of bed and had to wish you good luck, though I realize you probably won't get this till after the race. Sorry about that. I'd be so nervous if I were you. I'm really jealous and impressed. You are awesome and you'll do great. Good luck sleeping during the race... I don't know how I'd ever be able to do that. Ragnar's headquarters is near my house in Bountiful and I've been watching them get everything ready for the last few days. It's so exciting! Good luck! I wish that there were some way to find out which legs you were running and when (and if I only had a car!) because then i could make signs and cheer you on and give you a good mooning! Woo Hoo! I'd have to teach Mia how, but she's pretty smart and catches on quickly.
I'm thinking about you and know you'll do great. Call me when you recover! Love you!
