After four months of training, tomorrow it the big day.
Honestly I am feeling nervous about the physical test and excited about the experience. Mostly I am thankful.
Thankful for the opportunity to run the greatest roadrace in the world.
Thankful for the opporunity to experience this race with my son Robert.
Thankful for the opportunity to raise money for a GREAT cause TAN. Technology for Autism Now.
Most of all I am thankful for all of the support I have recieved from friends, relatives and coworkers. I am humbled and blessed that I have so many amazing people in my life that care about me, love me and pray for me. They have given me motivation to keep going when I didn't want to get out of bed and do my miles and there have been plenty of those days.
I have also drawn motivation the memory of my sister Michelle and brother in law Jay Driscoll. Those two people fought for their lives against cancer for years. They never complained and they never gave up. We lost them last year and I have felt their presence every step of the way.
Everytime I finsh a run, I thank God for my family, my friends, my job and my sobriety. When I finsh the race tomorrow, I'll do the same thing, but this time it will be VERY special.
