Evangaline Lilly, Kate from Lost. That's one of my favorite shows but the line to see her was way too long so I just took a photo.
Then I picked up my packet:

And my race number.
It's official, I'm doing a marathon. I was ruminating today on how these things; marathons, ironman, whatever; take on a life of their own and become all encompassing. For the last 2 weeks or so, and definetly for the last week, this is all I've thought about. What to wear, what to eat, when I'm going to do what, how will I do it. God, I'll be glad when this is over tomorrow!! These events become these watershed moments in your life. I found myself saying a number of times today, "Well, once the marathon is over...." like my life was going to change somehow. Oh well, what can I say, I'm a very deep thinker (NOT!!! ; )
I believe I am ready for tomorrow. I have my chip on my shoe, my number on my shirt, my iPod loaded, my drinks ready, my nutrition ready, I really can't think of anything else. I guess I'd better go walk the dogs because I don't think they'll be getting a walk tomorrow. Oh yeah, I'm trying to determine if it's feasible to bring my Palm since I don't have a camera phone. I can take pictures with that if I can figure out a way to carry it.
For the rest of the night; I'm going to take life like this guy:

Just kick back and relax.

Woo, I just checked the results, and YOU DID IT! Hooray!! :-) Congratulations, enjoy your medal! Looking forward to that race report!
YEEEHAAAWWW!!! Congratulations! You did it. You finished a marathon! Way to go.
Relax now, don't worry about points for the next few days as you re-hydrate and nourish your body. Time enough to get back on track next week.
Show us the medal!
BTW, my favorite show is also Lost. I was disappointed when last week was a repeat.
