The big race is only 8 weeks from today! With so much riding on my race preparation, I approach the problem the way I do any big life decision. I exclude anything involving a high heart rate. That would make my cardiologist very unhappy with me. Next, eliminate anything dangerous, like running in extreme temperatures or on the roads. That leaves me with just the boring, day in and day out, well, STEPS. Here are my totals from the past 7 days (I always take Sundays off and, no, I am not a sabbatarian, so don't bother asking).
Who knows but that this ultra might be my last one (they are soooo hard), so I want it to be iconic, like Albert Einstein's tongue-out birthday photo or Steve Jobs 2007 iPhone reveal panic.
I know it will work because I promised myself Mexican food in Farmville ONLY if I finish the race.
