well, i packed my nutrition up about 45 minutes ago.  i'm pretty confident in saying that the emotions have fully engaged.  btw, when you lay out the entire race day food in one place,  HOLY CRAP,  that's a lot!

i really don't know how to say thank you to all of you.  just saying thanks seems so lame.  but thanks.  thank you for everything.  not just this ironman crap, but everything.  its so awesome to be part of such a special group. 

heading to the airport shortly.  texas bound, baby!!!

I am running a super special 5K on Saturday with my favorite 9-year-old... my daughter, Shea. We are running the Girls On the Run 5K in Seattle. Awesome and amazing program. Every girl has a running buddy, and Shea wanted me to be hers. She has been running like gangbusters the last couple of weeks (she finally listened to me and stopped doing her 6:30 pace for 30 seconds and then dying for the rest of the way, ha!) and her coaches/teachers have told me she is really learning how to pace. Awesome.

Sadly... on Sunday she stubbed one of her toes really, really badly and as of last night was still very gimpy on it. I am super sad for her and hope she can run like she is capable. But in true Shea fashion, with her super optimistic and sunny disposition, she said, "It's OK, Mom. We can walk the whole thing slowly if we need to." She's right!! All along I've been worried my hamstring might hold us back (she knew she might need to walk with me!), and now that I'm feeling more put together... well... it is what it is. She is beautiful and happy and strong and I'm so excited to share this with her!!

Let me say this before Fatty does, "I hope you're not planning to wear a wetsuit!".  Good luck
