You know how, in "The Princess Bride", Wesley confronts Humperdink lying in bed? He bluffs the whole thing-- "It's possible," he says, "that I am lying here because I am too weak to get up." That was me yesterday-- mostly dead, but partly alive. I'd dreaded the 20, but it is do-able, and that means the last 10k is do-able, too. There are some technical things I want to do differently on race day: Vaseline, a bagel for breakfast, sports drink instead of water, but I think I'm pretty much mentally ready.
