This is a Back to the Future Post. My plan was to write a post every day for the month of December. In November, I didn’t shave for 30 days, so I figured I would try this for the next 30 days. Not a great start, but I will catch up.
Not being able to run put me in a funk for a while concerning the race. So I did the best thing I can think of to get my head straight: I booked my hotel in Texas and signed up for 2 back to back races two weeks from now! Woo-hoo! If that doesn’t make me get my ass in gear, then nothing will!
I have been ordering gear for the race so I will have time to try it all before race day. The last thing I need is to figure out that I can’t stand some crucial piece of equipment. Tolerating it for 1 hour would be fine. 24 to 30 hours is another story. Imagine driving from Baton Rouge to New Orleans with some whiny kid screaming in your ear the whole time. Sure, it’s only an hour. Yep, there will be alcohol when I get there. I can handle this. Now imagine driving from Baton Rouge to San Fransisco with the same kid. You get the point.
From early indications, it appears there will be a motely crew of soccer hooligans going to the race with me. The Esch family, Susan Hayden, possibly Pat Fellows, and no telling who else will make an appearence. I have reserved a shelter at the park for Friday & Saturday night. That will be our base of operations for my adventure. I imagine that is where the real party will be while I am trudging through the woods in pain.
The things I do for charity……..
