Today we picked up Gustavo's race packet at the sports expo for the race. I was feeling all kinds of emotions. First of all I was really excited for Gustavo & so proud of us. I was going to run and raise funds, but I fractured my foot. Gustavo is my amazing hubby who was more than happy to run for me, and help me get over my disappointment. Then, I felt bummed because I wasn't running it, but then remembered I can run another race, so felt happy again. I was really good until we walked next to an American Cancer Society booth & we wrote Taylor's name on this big card that said, Who am I running for? I took a picture and was about to send it to Taylor's mom, when we approached a Phoenix Children's Hospital Booth & just lost it. I guess it hit me that little Taylor was in there fighting for her life. It just made me so sad & the people at the booth where so nice & gave me a little t-shirt for Taylor. I told them through my tears that I've heard great things about the nurses/doctors/ and staff at Phoenix Children's. They also offer a fundraising/race option for next year. That may be my new project! Anyhow, it was emotional, and I didn't expect that. I'm proud of Gustavo & I for the fundraising and doing this race, but even more proud of Taylor and her family!

I'll post back how the race goes on Sunday-so excited!
