Nerves are kicking in real well now. Did I prepare well enough. Do I have it in me to do this run. Will I just drop at the 1/2 loop. I just don't know. I looked at my logs from last year before both this race and the Blues Cruise and I am close to the miles. I didn't do as many longer 3-4 hour runs this time but I did do a couple of 23+ mile weekends. I should be ok. I am planning on starting out slow and going slower. As I recall last year I tried to run most of the HAT and kind of blew up at the end. I did better at the Blues Cruise but there wasn't the constant up and down that run has. If I make it through the first 18 in less than 4 I will be really happy and continue on. If it is more than 4 I will have to really evaluate whether or not to continue.

Plan on getting the car packed when I get home and take a short run tonight just to kill some of these nerves. I am hoping it will be less traumatic when I run the Foxcatcher next month and when I run the HUMP in May.
