I can't believe in a few short hours I will start this crazy run. I also can't believe that it's just 5am and I am eating breakfast. Oatmeal with soy milk and bananas, yum.
I'm not really nervous. Yes, I have small butterflies, but not overwhelming moths in my stomach. The months of training will all pay off today. The exhaustion of getting up early on the weekends will all pay off today. All of the fundraising and all of the support will push me through the difficult parts of my run today.
I am grateful for all of the support, both financial and emotional. Who would have thought that I would ever be able to run a marathon??
I leave my readers with this last thought: Today, I set out to conquer the Boston Marathon and help researchers and scientists conquer cancer. Today, I honor all of those who have battled this disease and all those who will. Today, I set out to do the impossible. Today, I offer you this: Do something that scares you. Do the impossible. Because nothing is impossible.
I hope to see you on the course.

Marcy, By the time we write this, the race may be over, but Cathy, Jeremy and I have been thinking about you this morning. We woke up this am with an alam on my Treo that reminded me that this was your day! We hope that it has been a great one for you and no matter what the outcome, you have already made the effort a successful one by having the courage to undertake the challenge. We look forward to hearing your account of the run. Hugs, Cathy, Jeremy and Tilden
I Tracked you all day, miss 22004! You did incredible. I am so proud of you!
Lots of love, Always

Marcy-
You and the gals from western ma were awesome! This is Steve - we ran the same pace from about mile 15-20...one mile at a time.
You guys did a great job. What an incredible day it was for us and our DFMC cause. It was so nice to have met you!
