My husband's alarm goes off at 4:50am. The day I have been thinking about for almost a decade is finally here. I woke up with a sense of calm compared to the fear and anxiety that had crippled me and my training for the last few weeks.

Race Recap: Elsie Dairy Dash 5k
I have started to write this blog about 10 times trying to find the perfect words. I'm still a little shocked and awed... so I hope that I can capture what all this day meant to me.
