Hard to believe that the marathon weekend is finally here!

Many many thanks to everyone who helped me reach my goal – I ended up raising $3350 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The support from everyone has been amazing, and LLS is just such an awesome organization.

Last night I met my fellow TNT teammates Ted, Maha, Barbara and Miriam in Union Square to pick up our race bibs. It was packed with people, and the line to get in to register was huge!

In the line in Union Square to get our bibs!

Luckily it was really well organized and the line moved quickly. The next thing to do was to find our names on the Niketown Wall. On the outside of the Niketown in San Francisco, they post the names of all of the runners! No small feat since over 20000 people run this race. Here we are outside the wall:

Barbara and I set about trying to find our names – we found mine fairly quickly:

Unfortunately Barbara’s was too high to photograph, but Ted, Miriam and Maha were able to capture theirs.

I can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow at the inspiration dinner – this has been such a great, positive experience and I am so grateful for all the honorees, coaches, captains and mentors, and of course all my wonderful TNT teammates.

Maha, Ted and I have decided we will go ahead with the early start of 5:30am – that means getting up before 4am on Sunday morning so had better get some sleep tonight! Next post will be after the run.

GO TEAM!!
