Ready to Run!
So my bags are packed now, my packing list checked and rechecked. I have enough running clothes to run in any weather that is thrown at me tomorrow. I took a 15 minute walk around town to calm my nerves, cooked some lunch (spaghetti, sauce and some broccoli). My wife is due home from work in about an hour (12:30 noontime), so all we have to do is eat, throw our stuff in the car and drive 3-4 hours to Schwaebisch Gmuend.
I slept about 10 hours last night, am well rested, full of energy (too much) and just ready to go! So now I think I’ll curl up with my favorite pre-race book (Running Through the Wall by Neal Jamison) and try to space out for awhile.
Thank you for all your positive comments and words of encourage, I have them stored in the back of my mind and will call upon them when the going gets rough. Catch you on the other side!

Run, Jack, Run!!! This is getting to be kind of old news, around here. I think you need to consider a 100k or 3 day event, or something more astonishing. :) Have fun and be safe and come back with pictures.
