:(

Well it looks like no one's going to come and cheer me on in my first race -- which makes me a little bit sad.

Oh well -- I'm going to shed a tear over this now and get over it, because I really just want to do this the best that I can tomorrow. And then I'm going to take a 30 minute nap before I have to leave to catch my train tonight...

Edit: Yeah -- I shed just one tear over this one - and then I realized this isn't about them, it's about me. I'd love support and encouragement --- but that's not where the strength to get it done is coming from.

It looks now like a great friend may get down there tomorrow --- that would really make me smile :)
