1 Day, 15 hours until MCM

I am freaking out slightly right now...my iPod is not presently playing ANY of my purchased music-which holds ALL of my music for race day. Breathe-Breathe-Breathe, there is a Mac store by the office and hopefully it can be fixed-strange because I have not done anything to it. crisis diverted! The lovely folks at the Genius Bar at the Mac store fixed 2 carat! They have a new Nano that is Red...maybe Santa will deliver it to me---I love it...

Race weekend is here; my family arrives tonight-it's surreal. I have been planning and training for this for so long. I am going to attempt to relax and enjoy every minute of it. My car is jammed with lots of water, snacks, booze for the family and about 30 different outfits for the weekend. My friend Susan is going to run a good chunk of the race with me; and hopefully Cory & Matt will be well enough to jump in at the end to push me through the last few miles---which I hear are the worst and most exhilirating at the same time. My 'Roar Corps' will be Mom, Dad, Cory, Matt, Susan, Noel--Gary & Marianne are coming at the end along with a host of brokers that told me they would be on the course Sunday. Just wish the Hubik's could be here.

It's going to be a long day---hope to get busy to pass the time.
