Ali, I feel like you've already won. You've had an amazing training cycle and shown yourself that your body and mind DID this. You've learned SO much about your nutrition and your potential, and you also crushed working and momming and wifing at the same time. To me that's huge. The race is just the frosting on top. Enjoy every minute, you deserve that!

Perfect race plan. Good luck.

I'm looking forward to hearing all about it.

Does Annie ever wonder why in some places it seems like the whole world knows her mom?

Go Ali!! Have fun out there! This run is a celebration of you and all the hard work you’ve put in the last 14 weeks (and beyond!) You’ve made it to the start line healthy and happy, so you’ve already succeeded. Now go run happy and enjoy a great big Annie hug at the finish line 🤗

You got this, Ali! As a fellow runner who does *not* care about my pace, it's refreshing to hear other running enthusiast say the same/similar things about their gials.

(Case and point - I got into Boston via a charity and ran 5:28....I was thrilled :)

Have fun this weekend :)
