There is something special about being able to help so many people by running this race. I am looking forward to it.

It has been great training with a group of people, rather than doing it alone. It is a great group to run with. We support each other and motivate each other to do well. We're ready to go.

It would be nice to accomplish my goal, but it's not a big deal if I don't do it. I am just looking to soak up the experience and finish the race, so we can raise money for the people who need it.
