Less than 24 hours from now, I will be waiting downtown with my fellow teammates for the bus to take us out to Hopkinton. I'll be getting up at the crack of dawn to pull myself out of bed and meet the rest of the DFMCers at the Marriott. From there we will head over to the "limos" (big yellow school buses) which will whisk us away to Hopkinton, where we will wait in the church for our team picture and to set up in the corrals.
People keep telling me what an amazing experience this will be. I've received all types of suggestions on what to bring and wear. Tomorrow, I will go to Hopkinton prepared for all types of weather. I will bring a disposable camera to take pictures in the church. I will not run with it. I will let my memory be my camera. I will meditate. I will have several conversations with my father. I will drink lots of water. I will anxiously await seeing my Mom, Sister and boyfriend right around the Newton Fire Station. I will kick heartbreaks a** with the help of Chet. I will see Susan and Marisa at the bottom of the hills and have their support to run the rest of the way in. I will enjoy the scenery on route. I will enjoy hearing the screaming fans. I will listen to my body. I will chat with my fellow runners. I will drink water at every water stop. I will eat lots of gu. I will look up at the camera and smile proudly when I cross the finish line.
Tomorrow, I will run the Boston Marathon.
