Went to Quad Cities and picked up my packet.
Packed all my stuff.
Layed out my clothes.
Charged both ipods (bringing 2 just in case . . .I'm dead without music)
I've been drinking water all day (like I usually do) and eating normal.
This whole thing is in perspective. I am not looking to finish 26.2 miles and feel different. I am already different because of the training.
I LIVE.
I LOVE.
I LAUGH.
I have done all of those LONG before I ever started to run. Running just enhances them . . .
One of my favorite lines from a song is by Pete Yorn and it goes, "I don't know how she died, but I sure know how she LIVED."
Every run is a story. Even if it is a short run. There is a beginning, a middle and an end. The smells, sounds, thoughts, hurts . ..are all different .. but they are all RICH. Tomorrow won't be any different it will just be a little longer story than body is used to.
For those of you who pray . . .please pray for me. I can guarantee you if I even know you remotely I have prayed for you at some point during this 66 plus hour training.
And now I walk into the wild . . . .
