No wonder I feel tired.

As you can see from the marathon countdown, the days are coming closer. Not going to lie, it’s very real now. I’m making plans with my dad and getting the last details together. What has been a dream, an idea and some plans is about to become reality.

And that’s terrifying.

No matter. My goal the next 2.5 weeks is to eat well. Aside from the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream I just ate, I feel pretty good. I ate some bread over the weekend to help ease the 20-miler. It does help but I was warned that nutrient deficiency will be in full force. Three days out, I’m still feeling it.

By the way, did I mention I ran a 20-miler? 20 miles! Combined with the 7 I ran the day before, I was pooped. Still am. With tapering, I should have enough time to regain my legs and have full energy going into the marathon.

Now the goal is to get to Argentina. Just get there.
