During this time of year, we all catch cold, get caught up in life's minutiae, find it challenging to stay on track with training.
It is March Madness.
But occasionally, there are gems.
Found a friend from way back and got back in touch. That does the soul well. He apparently has read my blog, so maybe he'll stay in touch.
Got just run down over the weekend between the youth hockey, work, training etc and had to miss a LSD event. I *was* supposed to be a 180-minute, but the 2 days off actually may have served me better than forcing down a long event.
I'll get that 180 this weekend.
Next weekend would be a taper down weekend anyway in preparation for the NN16 but with three different youth hockey try-outs and playoff games....this will give me one good long real event.
Forced trust in prior planning.
Finally, getting toys and clothing ready for April 5th. The woolie socks, running gear and the newest aid: the new hydration sack.
I finally found one I like last year (Dakine), but they no longer make it and mine is slowly separating at the seams. So, after much research, found one I might like. Very small, 70oz sack, pockets for GU, nuun, keys, cell phone ~ but it wasn't available yet, except at some place in Canada (Moosejaw.com) and my local EMS. Stopped by, liked it, bought it,
and had the NoMagicBean logo embroidered on - see picture.
Now, it is ready for 2 weeks of field tests.
Will try and run with it tomorrow and see how it feels to make adjustments.
Getting nervous? certainly. Only fools rush in.
Getting excited? yep.
T-minus 16 days.
