We did it! I have never had so much difficulty writing my blog. For some reason this blog does not seem to want to be written. Is it because I am sad to see this process come to an end, or is it that I am so completely exhausted that my fingers just keep pushing the wrong buttons? I have been writing this blog for an hour and I keep losing my work, I can't find the pictures I want to include, and all the while the time is ticking toward my 8 pm bedtime.
To avoid letting the frustration get to me, I will make this blog short and sweet...
Yesterday, it finally hit me that we are really doing this thing. We are really running 100 miles from Norco, CA to the Santa Monica Pier. And what was it that finally had me facing reality? My Zero to 100 Mile Hero Teammates (and all our other adopted teammates) finished the final leg of the EC100, miles 75-100, from Palos Verdes to the Santa Monica Pier. As we ran through the actual finish line, two palm trees at the bottom of the pier, we all realized that in two weeks we were doing this for real. No more 25 mile legs, no more training for the event---in exactly two weeks it will be go time.
I know that with Coach Ed's guidance he has prepared us for just about any situation. He trained our minds, he trained our bodies, and now it is time for us to take that training and apply all we have learned on race day. Looking forward to October 17th and 18th when we can take our dream to be 100 Mile Heroes and make that dream a reality!
