Well - it's absolutely official - each member of Team McManus received this email today! I am beyond excited and realize that we are in the final stages of preparation for the big day - but every day is a big day as we prepare mentally, physically and spiritually for a 26.2 mile run. This Saturday the weather is supposed to be glorious and I am focused on us having one of our best training runs ever. On Valentine's Day - 16 mile run from Natick to the finish line. The following weekend it's off to Hyannis to meet Bill Rodgers and Frank Shorter and run our first half marathon race. Tears of joy are springing forth from my soul as I realize that I have been blessed with an absolute miracle - I am so grateful.
