Four weeks to go

Yup. Four weeks. I stare at my legs and ask them if they're ready - but they don't talk much.

As I wrote to the Dead Runners Society today:
"The big question is: Am I really ready? I expect I'll just have to get out there and find out! I do know I've learned a heckuva lot this past year about stretching, eating, icing, sleeping, staying cool, hydrating, and...running. But oh my goodness the butterflies are swirling! "

...Which leads me to a favorite quote by Walter Cronkite: "It's natural to have butterflies. The secret is to get them to fly in formation."

...Now I'm seeing me running through the plains, a phalanx of butterflies leading the way. I like it!
