Amazing Friends

Earlier tonight when I last wrote, I was talking about the great group of friends I have and how glad I am I have them in my life. Even more proved that to me today.

I went to the pool and swam for a while with a few friends tonight. My friend Jen was there too. I knew Jen was planning on going to the marathon, but that's all I knew. I didn't know who she was going with or anything else. Well, tonight I found out more info. She got a whole group together! I'm still not even sure exactly who's going but she named off a whole bunch of my friends! I'm SO excited!

I think it is SO cool that they are doing this and will be there to support me. It was really hard for me to ask for people to be out there for me. I wasn't expecting a whole lot from everyone, but it is kind of a big deal and I want to have people there. So knowing that I do have people there for me is amazing!

And they were sort of keeping it from me a little... to surprise me. I'm glad I know. I don't know if I'd be emotionally ok if I saw that in the race. I'd be so raw from running, then to have a group of friends I wasn't expecting to just show up might be a lot to handle! The last thing I'd want to do is start crying during the race! And that could STILL happened! Who knows! :)

I'm just REALLY happy that they are going and that they will be there to support me. I feel really lucky to have a group of friends I love and who are just on my side. It is such a cool feeling.
