Tomorrow's the day. 7:30 am. Davidson, NC. It's the half marathon I've been training months to run and this is my thought on it:

So mine won't be quite as rustic because I don't have a barn on my property, but you get the idea. Then there's this wall tree I'm replicating:

And this vinyl backdrop that I love:
