Holly Crapole, The Marathon is Tomorrow

I am getting ready to run the big one in the morning.  I have been running around like crazy since the day after the marathon, ShoeMoney and I leave for vacation.  I am getting packed, got my nails done, went to Omaha to pick up my race-day packet with my number and tracker.  Unfortunately, my tracker just records my time and does not track me on an Internet site like I have heard they do at some marathons. 

So I have set Jeremy up with a color-coded map and a Google pack full of stuff I might need during the run.  My mom will meet me at mile ten and then Jeremy at all the miles after that.  The Aldermans, our great friends will be there too to chear me on and also drive my truck back to Lincoln as I am not so sure I can do it after I finish the race.

I have been hydrating today, carb loading, and plan on going to be about 7 or 8 pm.  I have been thinking about actual race day quite a lot recently.  I think one thing that will help me is running in a city I love so much and yet I will be seeing it from a different perspective than I ever have before.  I will have my cell phone on me and I will text Jeremy and Mom every once a while to let them know where I am on the course. 

So many people have gave me help and advice along the way.  I have been preparing for this for about 4 months.  I have done what I am supposed to do and I feel ready to just bust it out.
