Sneaking a bit of peek ahead, I realize we are almost there. I don't want to overstate this, but there are really only two more tough runs out there. This Saturday's 12 will feel like a breeze, and that's worth thinking about. As long as we have ever trained before this was 7-- it's the Ridge, so I'd give us a 9 on that. The Boilermaker actually is 9, and we are so far on beyond Zebra at this point that nine sounds pleasurably easy. A single digit run? How sweet!

Of course, as I write this, I feel like I have been beaten with sticks. I want an ibuprophin drip. The Gu absolutely helped (and it comes in so many delicious flavors, too! Don't you wonder what "Just Plain" is like? I mean, not enough to try it, but don't you wonder? It's probably the effluvium from a DuPont plant. "Mmmm! This Gu tastes like New Jersey!"). I think I'll have two on the course for our 18. I also found that Gatoraid instead of water was a boost.

I'm trying to figure out what might work for breakfast. I don't partake as a rule, and when I've had a Cliff Bar it doesn't seem to have done much for me. Plain bagel? Stack of flapjacks? Lobster tails and unlimited Mimosas?
