Getting ready for the last big run...

I apologize for not blogging about an injury this week. But yesterday, something interesting happened to Chris's sister-in-law, and it's an injury that I have never seen before, so I'm currently researching a little more on it and I will report on it over the next few days...once I have it all figured it, you'll hear about it.
Okay, so tomorrow is a 22, possibly 23 miler at Davis Island again. I can't believe that I'm excited about running this far... I guess its gonna be great, because its a relatively easy pace so it shouldn't be hard on the body. One of my patients gave me a paper that pretty much sums up what has happened to me since I started running, in particular, when I started to train for the Disney Marathon. So this is what the paper says:
"I used to think they guys who woke up at 6 am to run were nuts. When I started doing that, I decided the guys who ran in the rain were nuts. When I started doing that, I decided the guys who ran marathons were nuts. So here I am getting up at 5 am to train for a marathon and it's raining!!!"
That pretty much sums it up for me... I am here at lunch, blogging about how excited I am to run 22-23 miles tomorrow, waking up at 4 am on a Saturday... are you kidding me? What has my life become? All I know is that I'm laughing as I'm writing this... and so happy about tomorrow. After the run, a nice long shower, and a bunch of food in my mouth, I will post about how it went!!! Bye!!!!!!
