Organized all my gear in bags last night and left it down near the garage.  This wait is killing me! Egads - I may actually have to clean the house more tonight.

Yeah, I organized all of my clothes last night. I won't put together food until tonight or tomorrow. I just want Friday to get here.

Hey, I will see you friday morning. Are you starting at 6 or 8? I'm starting at 6. So psyched.

Scott - I am starting at 6. Look forward to getting to know more ultranuts! I am super excited. Work, check blogs, read about Pony Express, fit in a few more minutes of work, repeat....

I am so excited for you Maurine and Scott. I had so much fun last year even though I only ran 54K.

This year a friend of family, Paul Losee, is running it. He has the same birthday as mine and is turning 62 when he finishes his very first 100 miler. Wish I could be there!

Y'all have a GREAT time and FUN out there!

Haha! See you there.

You guys are nuts, but packing ahead is a good idea. I have this fear of leaving my sports bra behind. Scott and Jun, make sure you do not do that!

I am so excited and nervous for you all too!! Okay, next year, Smooth, Kelli and I all need to join you!!!!!!!!

Oh, and Scott and Jun, do not forget your bra!

If I wasn't working that day it would be fun just to run it and hangout.
