Re: Forty days and forty nights

I've started counting the miles to go when I update my log. 157 miles to go after this morning! Also known as 2 20-milers until the glorious taper!

Re: Forty days and forty nights

I do not recommend fasting. I do recommend running fast on the day in question but please do not fast.

Re: Forty days and forty nights

OMG only 40 days! It seems like so much longer! I still have 2 20s, a 10K and a taper! How is all of that going to fit into 40 days?:) Hal Higdon must be a miracle worker!

I do today what you won't, so tomorrow I do what you can't.

He just lays out the plan. You have to be the miracle worker.

We've come this far and it's still the same,
Runnin' out here in the rain.
Just one more mile, if only you could fly.

Cr@p. And I thought all this time I just had to be a runner!

Re: Forty days and forty nights

Speaking of "some assembly required", has anyone started building the boat yet. Remember what happened last time there was mention of 40 days and 40 nights!

Hard to figure out which way to unwind.
