Race Day

Tomorrow is race day for us! Jason is running his first marathon and I am running my third. I'm nervous and excited. I always feel that way before a race. Last time I ran a marathon was last May and it was a bit of a failure in my eyes. I got a good time(better than my last time)...but I got dehydrated and felt awful the last 6 miles or so. Its well known that its kind of a toss-up how a race can go...you can feel great...or you can have unknown pain, GI issues, etc. The cool thing about tomorrow is that I'm running with my mom. Last year we ran the 1/2 marathon together and I loved the experience of being together and especially finishing together. As cheesy as this may sounds, I LOVED that we crossed the finish line together...holding hands I think :) Its just cool to do something like that with your Mom! I look forward to spending the morning with you tomorrow, Mom :)
Oh and also - we are staying at a hotel tonight so hopefully we'll get a good night sleep! AND its right by the starting line, so we don't have to drive anywhere in the morning.
Wish us luck!

Can't wait to hear how it goes. I have ran 2 1/2 with my mom and we crossed the finish line together...it was so great having those memories with her. What a great time you two are going to have. I would love to talk training with you sometime!

Whats the word on the R&R Seattle?
