The hours, minutes and seconds are ticking by and race time is drawing ever so slightly closer. I spent my evening being productive... ;) I made my t-shirt. :) So you should all come to CF tomorrow am just so you can sign it! :) When I am on the course all by my lonesome and I start to think that I won't make it, I will think of all those signatures and know that my family, as well as my friends (especially those from CFOT) are pulling for me. That will be all I need to get me to that line. Well, that and the promise of my super cool medal, and my T-SHIRT! :)
As a special reminder to myself, I also bought some team bands. You know, those rubberband things that people wear around their wrists? I'm not a huge proponent of stuff like that, but today, when I was standing there looking at the package... a lot of the words hit home with me. I put them on as a reminder to myself. The ones I chose to wear I think reflect qualities that I have, but sometimes lose sight of. The ones I will wear through race day quite simply are: Heart, Pride, Guts, and last but not least, Strength. Least I forget, I shall be reminded. It doesn't hurt that the colors will go well with my race day outfit, which I also bought tonight as well. See? I told you it was a productive evening. :)

I LOVE the shirt! And I have a "team band" from the last motorcycle rally our church held. It simply says "Because We Are".... It is a good reminder to myself of all I am, and all I am meant to be. The name of the Motorcycle rally is "Tougher Than Hell"... and I believe that's one of the things I am.
Way to go on working so hard to prepare for Saturday! You will do swell!
Be Blessed
I'm looking forward to a detailed analysis of the race!
And just picture a nice cold bottle of beer across the finish line. That always gets me going.

Good luck on the race!!
Your pirate will be there waiting at the finish line won't he?
Great shirt. Good luck!!
Thanks for all the well wishes guys! I hope I do well! I'll be sure to get a post up soon after the race... that is barring the fact that I'm still living... :P
You rock that race, Katie! Shirt is great.
Good luck Katie! Like my dad always used to say when I was worried about something "Don't worry, it will be ok." And it always was -- eventually.
But seriously, have fun. You'll do great.
I have the best cheering section ever! I heart you guys!!!! :) I wish you guys lived closer so I could get you to sign my shirt... but I know while you're relaxing and enjoying your Saturday... you'll be thinking of me... ;)
And KTF, don't doubt that I'm thinking about the after race perks... ;)
