GOT MY BIB NUMBER!!!!!!! I jes about cried... silly ... I know... but.... WOW... this is happnin! Read Onetta's Blog... could not agree more! I am having those SAME thoughts! Completion has been the issue..... Of course on the positive side, Had that not been MY focus... the time shaving issue most likely would not have even been a factor at this point. It has taken everything I had from the beginning NOT to push too hard... I did not want to burn out, give out, or get hurt... I usually go full force and then at this stage in my life.... overdo and give up. But I didn't! I am here... AND debating shaving minutes! I too feel that I probably need to get out there early... and if that is what I am going to do... I will probably want to do so by at least 6:00, maybe 5:30!
