Rested and Ready to Go

It is less than 2 days away from my challenge to capture the unicorn (Boston Marathon Finisher’s Medal). I am very calm and feeling ready to brave the elements and what ever comes my way on Monday. My racing singlet is ready (see pictures – the back is my list of angels). Now all I have to do is rest and relax.

Number 9 Dream by John Lennon keeps running through my head as I focus on the race. So, here it is:

So long ago
Was it in a dream,
was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me
Took a walk down the street
Thru the heat whispered trees
I thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear)
Somebody call out my name as it started to rain

Two spirits dancing so strange
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

Dream, dream away
Magic in the air, was magic in the air?
I believe, yes I believe
More I cannot say, what more can I say?
On a river of sound
Thru the mirror go round, round
I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel)
Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold
The spirit dance was unfolding
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
