Well, it's here...the night before the big race. I am excited, but keep coming back to the same thought: this marathon is like a final exam....I've been to class, taken notes, read and studied all semester...tomorrow's the exam and there's nothing left that I can do but show up and try my best!
As I've mentioned, I'm running for OAR (The Organization For Autism Research). Tonight we had a team recognition dinner and got to meet other team members and hear where all the money we raised goes. More importantly, we got to hear stories of how autism has affected some of the team members. Hearing those stories really made me proud to be a part of this team. As we walked back to our hotel, after the dinner, we realized that no matter what happens at the race we have made a difference. Yes, training was painful, but those struggles were nothing compared to the struggles people with autism face every day.
It's time to lace up and get running!
