Well, here it is Friday morning, the day before the big race. Yep, that's right, Lori once again will be diving head first into the masochist's pool by competing in her second marathon. 26.2 miles is now merely a small wind sprint for this seasoned veteran. Well......that might be a "bit" of an exaggeration, but I will say that she has trained hard for this marathon, and we are very proud of her. Her competitive fires are burning bright.
Of course the boys and I, Cricket and her boys, and Nana will be there to cheer her on. We will also be cheering on Cricket, who will be participating in her second 1/2 marathon. Both need a big round of applause, not only for the dedication, but for their fund raising effort. So far, together they have raised a little over $2300.00 between them for St. Judes Hospital.
We are scheduled to fly out today at 4:25pm. It is supposed to be in the 20's - 40's while we are there, so I am sure that we will be freezing our bottoms off while we are waiting for our speed demons to finish. It will all be well worth it when we see their faces as they cross the finish line.
I will have my camera at the ready, and I am sure that I will have glorious tales to share upon our return. I will leave you with that, and I am sure most of you are sitting at the edges of your seats, ripe with anticipation.

PS. If you would like to donate to the St Jude cause, the link to Lori's donation page is in the right hand column on this page. Thank you for everything.
