Just days until Memphis...

It's time to get packed, check lists and finalize the last minute details.  This Saturday is the Memphis Marathon!  I still have this sort of out of body relationship with this event.  It's happening, no doubt there but it feels like I am watching the events unfold from a distance.  I made the decision, all things being equal, to drive down to Memphis.  I couldn't justify the additional expenses attached to flying down.  I am looking forward to the long drive.
 I will be blogging each day of the marathon weekend including a possible video and/or audio post or two.  The problems with the PC that kept me from updating info during the 1/2 marathon should be resolved (hopefully?!)
One of the highlights of this trip will be the opportunity to tour St. Jude Childrens Hospital while I am there.  I am looking forward to meeting the "REAL HEROES" the Doctors and patients of St. Jude.

I want to thank Amber Smith for a great article and Photographer David Lassman for the photos.  My fervent wish is that it inspires donations, raises awareness for St. Jude Hospital or inspires someone else to join the St. Jude Heroes program and raise money own there own.
