Its finally happened. I am no longer obsessing over this race. I have no idea why, but it was like a wave of relief washed over me and I now feel almost ambivalent. Maybe that's too strong of a word to use, but that's how I feel. With fifteen days left before the race I am calm, cool, and collected. Now I realize that this could all turn against me with a raging case of vomiting and anxiety next week, I'm currently enjoying this state of euphoria.
Molly is going camping this weekend up in the Boundary Waters. She's bringing a wetsuit with her so that she can try swimming in Lake Superior. I pray that someone takes a picture of THAT!
I hope that everyone has enjoyed this blog. I doubt I will keep it up after the race. Maybe I'll start another one. I've already been thinking about my post-race workout routine. I should start doing yoga, and being nicer to my body. But I will say that this morning I was paid the greatest compliment. I ran into someone that I haven't seen in almost ten years. A nice guy who used to live above Muddy Waters when I did. He first told me how great I looked and then told me that I haven't aged a bit, in fact I look younger now than I did back then. Bullshit or not, it was really nice to hear.
