A Variety of Heart Attacks...

Maybe the title to this blog is a little dramatic. Maybe.

Sooooooo...the race is just days away. Not 6 months, 6 DAYS. I'm nervous. It's understandable, right? I'm sure. My nerves are not being helped by the emails the race organizers keep sending out with "IMPORTANT Updates." My internet access has been spotty for the past week plus so to have such urgency coming to me in a way I can't always easily get to is, well, unnerving. Sigh. Aaaaaaanyway...

I'd rather focus on the other kind of heart attacks I'm having lately. They are the kind you get when someone does something amazing for you and your heart skips a beat, puffs out with love, and sings. Those kinds. I am getting those lately from donations. I'm amazed at the generosity of those out there. I'm humbled that people care enough about me to believe in AWB and to support them. I feel like I'm floating on all these donations. I feel like the words will never find me to fully express how meaningful it is to have this support.

I'm going to take this feeling and bottle it up and unleash it on race day. I'm going to have it be my energy drink to get through the biking portion when the wind is blowing at me head on. I'm going to use it to help me continue to chug along when my legs don't want to run anymore. I'm going to continue to be inspired. Thank you all so, so much. Thank you!
