I am officially packed and ready to leave for Tempe. We'll make our way to Charlotte - leaving around 5am. It's the night before and it's been quite a day. My office surprised me with a card that everyone had signed and we had cake after our Thanksgiving dinner celebration. It was such a sweet, inspirational card. There was quite a bit of discussion about what all I had ahead of me. Friends have been texting, bringing by cards and such (my good friend Paula Adams brought by "Wilson" who will make the trip to AZ). Everyone has been so supportive! I can't even say "thank you" enough. I just hope that I make all of my supporters proud. It's been such a great experience with the support I've had.
With that said, we ran our last 3-mile run tonight. My heel continues to fight with my brain about what's comfortable. Dr. Renick worked on it yesterday and I am icing as I type. I plan to take it easy over the next few days, minimize the time I spend on it as much as possible and keep babying it. It simply has to make it 26.2 miles as it doesn't hurt on the bike or in the swim. That's all I need and after that, I have promised it that I will give it a break - at least a week!
Tomorrow, the final phase of this journey officially begins. I get excited thinking about all of being on the same flights out to Tempe. Good friends, training buddies and supporters will all be on board. No turning back. No guts, no glory. Again, I am reminded by so many of my tri buddies to absorb it, have fun and take it all in. Here we go....!!!
