Yes, excited, nervous, and just a jumble of emotion!!!! I've had a busy week anyway w/ kids & activities so that has helped keep my mind off of things!! 
Here's the plan- we're driving to my Mom's tomorrow morning & pick her up. Then we're going to the hospital to see Grandma. (she's not doing well, pneumonia is back again) Then we'll head to the hotel to check in (and yes, there is a pool for the kids, they're so excited!
) And I'll meet up w/ Erin & her friend Amy (who did the half marathon a few weeks ago w/ us), and Melissa to pick up our race packets & time chips!!! Then I think we're all going to go out to eat somewhere & then come back to relax & let the kids swim. Melissa & I will ride the shuttle (we're in the same hotel) to Erin & Amy's hotel (which is right by the start) so we can use their bathroom & then we'll head to the start. We all start together- the 5K, half, and full marathon so that will be interesting. Erin is pretty sure she's going to do the full (she's still having ITB issues), but she can always change her mind for the half & I think Amy is only doing the half. I'm planning on doing my *own* race though, Melissa (who's dealing w/ sciatic nerve problems!!) already told me that I have to kick butt!! 
It starts at 7:30, I'm just hoping it doesn't rain like they're calling for!! 
Greg, Mom, & the girls can hang out at the hotel & swim until it's close to when I think I'll finish (I'm hoping for less than 4 1/2 hrs, closer to 4 hrs 15 min would be awesome!) so that they can cheer me in & take some pics.
I have Rachel (in AZ)'s phone # programmed in my cell phone so I'll call her as soon as I get a chance to let her know I finished & the time, etc. Then we'll still have to drive back to my Mom's & drop her off before we head back home.
Anyway, that's the plan!! I'll post when I can, but it probably won't be til Sun night after all of our driving time!!
Thanks for thinking of me, pray for nice cool (and not rainy!) weather!!!!
Hugs,
Jess

I'll be thinking of you! That's the same day as our marathon, and they run through every route we could take to get to church! LOL. It's a *nightmare*.
Good luck, Jess!!!!
