Getting close now....

So in a few short days, the thing I've been working towards for the past year will be here. Am I ready? At this point, it's kind of a moot point, as I will be toeing the start line come Sunday morning regardless.
I know it will be hot.
I know it will be long.
I know it will hurt.
I know that there will be times when I am not enjoying myself.
I know that there will come a point at which I would like to stop.
But I will not stop.
I will keep swimming, I will keep pedaling, I will keep putting one foot in front of the other until I reach the finish line. And if something happens and I don't finish, I will know that I have given it my all.
I am going into this race knowing that I have the full support of an incredible number of people, and for this, I thank you, and come Sunday, I hope not just to become an Ironman, but to make you proud.

Wow, I seriously teared up over that. I'm such a sap.

Haha! Thanks for the comment about Caillou! I had no idea. But my husband thought he had cancer too.
