Was only going to run three but I felt SOOOOOOOOOO non-runner like I thought I'd run until I felt a bit like one.    Hey!! Who turned up the heat?  I think I specifically recall asking for nice warmer weather NOT HEAT AND HUMIDITY!!  I was parched and felt comfort running thru sprinklers.  7 miles @ 8:37 pace, all progressive miles with some good hills.  HOLY MOLY AM I REALLY RUNNING THIS THING TOMORROW?  I know I will show up and start running, not sure what obstacles lie ahead mentally or physically.  Based on how crappy I feel now (intense fatigue, lower back pain and joint and muscle aches--all of which I chalk up to adrenal fatigue) I am unsure, but my mind is stronger than my body and I will gain stength from the mountain air and terrain, I can feel it.  Any stream I come across I am in it.  Any shade cover I see ahead I am running to it.  I am ready, ready or not.  Those of you trying to talk yourselves out of a long run tomorrow, just DO IT!!  Seriously, if you are running a 5K race at Nestle (the one I usually do) look East and UP and think of how you could be running 50!!!  AND NOT 3.1.  I am finally where I always thought I would be.  Not every year but just this year.  Not sure if this will become an addiction.  Let you know tomorrow evening : D.
