Okay, it is still raining and cold.  But I am feeling some better anyway.  I finally made my reservations for the hotel in Cincinnati for the marathon.  That makes it feel more real, like I am really going to do this.  I don't think it is a very nice hotel, but it is one we can afford and it is only one night.  I doubt I will be able to sleep much anyway.  I am getting more excited about it.  It is helping me forget other things at any rate.
