start spreadin' the news...i'm leavin' today...
Okay, I actually leave tomorrow, but I'm pretty excited! My flight leaves bright and early...I'll be at the airport long before it's light outside (thanks, Sarah!). My bags are (nearly) packed...with coats, scarves and gloves that I have been dying to use for nearly two years now. My iPod is synced with my new "nyc marathon" playlist. Runner's World issues are in my carry on. And today I logged my 296th mile for training. I think I'm ready for 26.2!
After the race, I'm going to be a completely nerdy tourist with Julia and Morgan for two days - times square, China town (canal street!), little Italy, MoMa, statue of liberty, rockefeller plaza, ground zero, manhattan temple, statue of liberty, empire state building, wall street, greenwich village, Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, the list goes on...
Three cheers to my friend, Morgan, for letting us crash at her place in the city. Three cheers to all of my wonderful friends who are watching Leah while I'm away and Ryan is at work. I have the best friends...I always have...I've been very blessed that way. And three cheers for Ryan for being willing to be a daddy-mama for a weekend. I'll bring ya back somethin' good. :)
