Stretched, Hydrated, Fueled, Packed, and ... READY!

Thursday night. I leave in the morning for Hartford!

I worked out, sort of, with Corey today. Nothing tough. Just went through a pre-race warm-up routine, a lot of stretching, and Corey worked on my legs. Bless him, he is talented in that regard.

He told me several times this week that "This is the nicest I will EVER be to you." Ha! It certainly is the nicest he has ever BEEN to me! I have enjoyed it, too. Just a little pampering. I do realize that I would not get anywhere if we did this every week, but it's been nice this week.

I have eaten. I have had plenty of water today. I have stretched. My bags are packed, the GPS is programmed, my boarding pass is printed ... the horse-sitter has been called, the dog dropped at the kennel. Terri and I have exchanged clueless e-mails. We have dinner reservations for tomorrow night, and I have even emailed the chef my dietary requests -- grilled chicken, penne pasta, light marinara sauce, steamed veggies. No milk. No cream. No butter. Thank you.

I cannot WAIT to see Terri, Connecticut, the leaves, the mountains where she lives, Frankie and Gracie and Chris! I just can't WAIT. And ... I cannot wait for this to be over! I am soooo excited to be doing this. So glad we raised the $$ for Sunkissed Acres!

So READY.
