I remember the pain. After finishing the 50 Mile Bull Run in April last year I remember the pain. Pain in my quads, pain in my calves and pain in my shoulders. Pain was all over my body. I also remember thinking finishing a 50 mile race is an accomplishment in itself, I asked myself do I have enough in me to run twice this distance? Should I dare run 100 Mile Ultra marathon?
One week. A week from today is travel day. In one week’s time I will be in Lake Placid, NY. Exactly what I'll be doing a week from today I’m not really sure. I may be going for an easy run or a short ride or a maybe a practice swim. I could be doing none of the three. I may just be hanging out with my wife Rica and my 8yr old son Noah at the bed and breakfast we booked. Perhaps talking to my friend John as he assures me for the thousandth time, everything will be okay.
