Here we go!
We had the technical meeting about an hour ago. We handed over our bottles, went over the pre-race schedule for tomorrow and met the pacers. It’s starting to feel real now. Gulp.
Elite Tech Meeting
Mar and Trent
Trent and I spoke about what pace I should go out at and even though it is possible for me to run faster, this may not be the race to be greedy and risk it all especially as it is my first marathon. I met Andre my group’s 2:38 pacer. He’s my good buddy as of right now! 
Mar and Krista Duchene – Saucony Twins!
THANK YOU to all who have sent me messages of encouragement and support. It really means a lot to me! I promise to give it my all!
