Tomorrow's Big Race :)

Well, tomorrow is the big day!

I've been working the whole summer to get ready for tomorrow's 8 mile race.

 I've stepped out of my comfort zone and reached goals I didn't think I would be able to reach.

I went for runs when I really didn't want to.

I was fortunate to be able to go for runs when I really did want to.  (thanks to my extremely supportive husband who put the kids to bed numerous nights while I was out for a run.)

After 3+ months of hard work, I think I'm ready.  I know this is no marathon or anything, but EIGHT MILES is not something that I ever thought I could do.  

My work ethic pretty much sucks, and I'm not too good at setting goals (and actually reaching them) when it pertains to exercise (or anything else), so I am pretty excited to run this race tomorrow.  

Oh...and did I mention that the race is on Mackinac Island?

...and that my amazing in-laws will have the kids.  So Dan and I have two days up-north...with no kids...and a couple of Spaniolos!  Yay!

...and here's a little Pinterest loveliness I found on the topic.
