Relaxed and Ready to go!

Less than 27 hours until race time!

Last night, we made our jersey's that we'll wear tomorrow night!  Here's mine....

The 343 signifies the number of firefighters that perished in the Tower 1 and Tower 2 attacks in New York City on September 11, 2001.

"Let's Roll" is a catchphrase that became known after the attack of 9/11.  Todd Beamer, a passenger on the hijacked Flight 93, used the phrase as his last audible words (with a phone operator) before he and a group of other passenger's began to try to take on the hijackers.  It was then famously used in a speech by President George W. Bush in his 2002 State of the Union address.  Since, then, it has been used as a battle cry by many in reference to the events of 9/11.  (Wikipedia.com)

Kristofor also has a nifty jersey with the #72 on it, signifying the number of fallen police officers, and the slogan "In Valor There Is Hope" emblazoned on the back.

I have a few names on my list to carry with me for tomorrow.  I am running with names of those that have fought or are fighting for our country, as well as the names of any lives lost in the 9/11 attacks.  If you'd like me to run a mile for your loved one, in honor or in rememberance, I am happy to do so!  Just email them to me at lacysheahealey@gmail.com, or FB me or leave me a comment here.

Gonna keep it short tonight, I'll check in tomorrow before we head to the race!

Thanks for cheering me on!
