Bye!

OK! The piles are in suitcases, the list is checked, and my husband is hell-bent on pulling out of the driveway in, um, 29 minutes. I don't know if I'll be blogging again or not before the race, but I'll surely find a way to check back here for any words of encouragement or last-minute advice you may wish to post. :)

Right now I'm focused on not letting nerves ruin my fun. This is my birthday present, after all. And as my five-year-old niece exclaimed last night at her birthday party after opening some fairy doll thing: "I've wanted this for my whole entire LIFE!"

    Godspeed Miss Julie.

    Whatever happens you have already won.

    Can't wait to hear the nitty gritty get-down-'n-dirty play-by-play on your return.

    I'll be rooting for you virtually!

    It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect (Psalm 18:32)

    Ask, and it shall be given you (Luke 11:9)

    Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. (Matt 6:8)


    May those Truths make your journey whole.

    I'll be rooting you on from afar. Way to go. I can barely even watch an Ironman Triathalon on TV without getting winded. Good luck!
