  2. My head is throbbing! My heart feels like it is thumping out of my chest! I’m so nervous, Mom. Can you check the calendar again, please? Are you sure it is October 7th? Yes, I am sure that it is October 7th. Now go on and get ready. We are going to leave in 30 minutes so you have time to relax before the race. I love you! Gianna! Wake up! Today is your day…it is finally here! 4:45 a.m.?! Why does this feel so early? I always wake up early! My stomach is in knots! I love you too! Gianna… You know you can do this!

  3. I’ve worked so hard. My friends and family are going to be there watching me! Everything is going to work out great! You can totally do this, Gianna! Let’s put all of those training miles to work! This light is just so bright! Okay, I can do this. I’m just going to throw my hair in a ponytail…brush my teeth…and start my day off right!

  4. I’m all ready to go guys! Let’s hit the road. Do you have everything I need downstairs, Mom? My breakfast, extra clothes, and sandals? Yup, we are all set. I didn’t want you to have to worry about anything. Thanks, Mom! I really appreciate it! Okay, here I come!

  5. Hey Mom… Can I have my energy bar, please? I want to eat it now so I don’t get a stomach ache before the race. Sure, Gianna. Here you go. They really aren’t that bad. I didn’t like them at first. You just have to find the right flavor for you! Ew! I don’t know how you can eat those things. I don’t think I could ever eat that for breakfast.

  6. It’s okay! I hope it doesn’t act up during the race. Ah! We’re here already? How is your knee feeling, G? Yup! We’re here! We just have to look for a parking spot. BE QUIET, NIKKI! You are just making me more nervous. Look at how busy it is already. I can’t believe there are so many people.

  7. Good find, Mom! That sounds like a great deal to me! There’s a parking garage. It only costs $10 for the WHOLE day.

  8. Dad… there is no way that I am stopping. But don’t worry…I promise to be very careful! Much better! Why is it so stinkin’ hot out here? It feels like it is the middle of July, and it is only 7 o’clock in the morning!! And make sure you listen to your body. If you need to stop do not be stubborn! ACTUALLY STOP! We’re here at last! Okay, I am going to run into the hotel and go to the bathroom before we head over to the startling line. The weather channel said to expect a REALLY hot day. Be careful, Gianna. Make sure you are getting plenty of water while you are running. Bye guys! I love you all too! Thanks again for coming. Make sure you look for me! We all love you very much. Give me a hug!

  9. I totally want to do this with her next year! I’m so nervous for her! I’m so proud of her! Oh my goodness! This is it! Look at the crowd! Look at how many runners! I can’t do this. I can do this! AHHHHH! Well, here goes nothing!

  10. I really hope I can make it to the finish. Oh my goodness! That’s Lauren and Molly. I can’t believe they came to cheer me on. What awesome friends! I’m so hot. I’m so tired. I’m only half way. I can’t believe that man just fainted behind me. Go Gianna! We will see you at the finish. You are almost there! Go Gianna! You can do it! We are so proud of you!

  11. Oh no! I need water NOW! I have the worst leg cramps. Am I going to make it?!?!?! YESSSSSSSS! I made it to ChinaTown! This is my favorite part of the race. The crowd is AWESOME! I love to see all of the cool buildings too!

  12. I’m done! I did it! I did it! I just can’t wait to find my family. I need my dad to carry me. My knees are really locking up. FINISH STRONG, GIANNA! You can do this! That’s it…SPRINT TO THE FINISH LINEEEEEEEE!)(@)@%*@)#(@_ THE FINISH LINE! I’M ALMOST DONE! No way?!?! It’s KARA!!!!!!! I hear her cheering for me! I have the greatest friends and family.

  13. Thank you so much for cheering me on! You don’t know how special it made me feel. I’m truly blessed with wonderful family and friends! Look at what you just accomplished…wow! I think this calls for an ice cream run after dinner! Hi Guys! It’s over! We can go home and eat everything in sight. I’m so hungry! I’ll make you whatever you want! I’m so proud of you! Great job, Gianna. You were so great. It was so fun to look for you!
