Calling all race stalkers...
Although it looks like you gotta know my name to track just how slow I'm going...
Runner Update Network (R.U.N.)
Marathon Goals:
A) Finish 5 minutes faster than I did last year.
B) Finish in 5:55 again.
C) Just get over the line.
What can I say? I have high expectations. :) It's all part of "Project: Don't Psych Barb Out."
And here's a scary thought....it's only FIFTEEN DAYS AWAY. I just have to go to bed 15 more times and race day is here. In three days we can say the race is "next weekend." There are only two more "long runs" before the big day. I am only working eight and a half more days. We're talking like 350-something hours until the gun goes off, people!
Between now and then here's what's going down. I'm starting swim classes. Leah turns 28. I turn 26. We're going to see Maroon 5. We're going to see Smashing Pumpkins (OHMIGODENTERBARBCIRCA1999). And most importantly, there will be no yaking. No vomiting. No nerves so strong that I want to reach down my throat and pull out my stomach. We were yak-free in Tennessee...damnit, we're going to be yak-free in the Windy City.
Woo!

WWWWWOOOOOOOOHHHHHHOOOOOOO!!
It's almost time to get this party started!!!!
RACE TIME is coming! Whooohooo!
did you say 15 days. frick. i am officially nervous. later.
"Yak Free in Tennessee" is not a good presidential slogan. Just incase you decided to run ever.
I'm ready. Bring it.
First I must say I feel really old - you are a youngster! I have to admit though 25 was by far my favorite age.
So, happy birthday early.
You are going to totally rock the marathon - I'll be cheering for you from NH.
YAK FREE From Tenneesee to Illinois!!!! Woo hoo!
