#Yearof40 Goals Achieved (Almost)!!!

This post will be short.  I've got to prepare.  

Tomorrow morning at 8:00 central time the gun will fire and I will be on my way to achieving my biggest #yearof40 goal.  I will begin my 26.2 mile run to the finish line of the Chicago Marathon.  

It won't be fast or pretty.  About 5 weeks ago, I injured my foot and it's not 100%.  My longest run was 15 miles AFTER my injury and I shouldn't have done that.  I know that tomorrow my foot will hurt.  I know that.  But I also know that I will finish.  

I am anxious.
I am nervous. (Redundant, I know, but I swear I am feeling both.)
I am excited.
I am proud.
I am running TALL.

More tomorrow.  If I can move...
