Post #12 25 days 13 h 07 m 00 s

I’m at the countdown. It’s been eleven months of slowly ramping up the miles and determination. I guesstimate that over the course of that time I’ve perhaps spent 180 hours running some 1,200 miles and I’m not there yet. So here I am with one month to go. I can remember being at this milepost before and having the same feeling I have now. Bring it on. Could I be more prepared than I am right now? After months of getting up early to run before work, pushing off diner so as to make time for an evening run, spending half of a weekend on long runs and recoveries, I’m ready to get to it. (And I might add so is my family who though totally supportive would like to have me back for some of that time.) This may be the hardest time to stay the course, not back down on the mileage and see this through to the last day. But of course I will. For myself, for all of you who have show your support of my effort and for Abilis, I will see this through to November 7 with my complete dedication. So it’s back to the road and see you in 25 days, 13 hours, 7 minutes and 0 seconds.
