North Face Endurance Build-up/Count-down



I am now getting apprehensive about the 50k (just 4 days away!) Can I do it?!

In a sign that the jitters are setting in, I have started analyzing the descriptions of the course a bit obsessively. (I'm particularly awe-struck by the astonishing ascents and descents over the course - a net climb of 6,900 feet!) However, I managed to get in another taper-period run today (of ~7 miles) and, although I'm definitely still sick, I feel stronger, and I think I may have the stamina to make it through.


Next step: get my "drop bag" of goodies together so I can drop it at one of the aid stations during the race - could be crucial to my survival!
