 Just posting for some good luck mojo.  I have been running the route and doing well so I have no fears about finishing.  I do however have jitters because a race with lots of people around is something I have never, ever, done nor imagined I would do.  I don't have a watch but have used the digital bank clock at the beginning and end of the route to get an estimate of my time.  Based on that clock I seem to be between 30-32 minutes so it will be interesting to see what I am actually running tomorrow.  Thanks in advance for any good luck vibes and I will post to let anyone curious know how I do and to simply celebrate my own strength!  Thanks to all of you for the encouragement and good luck in your own challenges!

Good luck!!!

You're going to do great, and the first one (at every distance) is always the best!!
