Thanks for the encouragement Ladies!!! It helps a lot, You Rock!

I met up with a few women from the marathon training group to pick up our race packets this morning. Seeing them and driving around the course got me more excited/ready to tackle this race. **** Beardsley signed some stuff for me at the expo & we were able to chat for about 10minutes which was fun. Nice guy.

It's been a tough week between getting injured & layoffs at DH workplace so I have decided to take a mental day today. I need to be focused for tomorrow & well rested physically and mentally. Thankfully I am self-employed which makes taking the day off easier.

Supper is ready to heat, a nap is in store & of course some icing of the knee. I feel okay, can definitely still feel the bruised knee, but I'm fairly confident I can run through it without injuring myself further.

I'll make sure DH has the camera so I can include pics w/ my race report!!

Keep on running!
