Hello! My name is Deanna. I am previously from South Alabama, but I have lived near Calgary, Alberta Canada for almost 5 years now. I have two grown children, two granddaughters, a dog, and two cats. I work at a preschool/kindergarten for children with special needs. Today (Friday) was actually our last day of school. It was very bittersweet since we were not able to be with the kiddos in person and have spent the last few months only in contact with them by Zoom.

This will be my 3rd Marathon! I am SO excited about it and have been preparing for it ever since I found out the date. I look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones. I have my fruit tray, trail mix, summer sausage, cheese, and various snacky candies ready for in the morning! Oh, and also my coffee.

I hope everyone is able to get some rest because we will certainly need it! We got this!
