It took me a few seconds to figure that out from the OP.

Yes...8 marathons, zero ultras...but, I got the bug last year when I went to Umstead to pace Meri...well, before that, but that solidified it...
2 weeks and 5 days
But who's counting?
I'm trying to replicate race conditions, but my 30 yesterday was 70 degrees and race night is predicted to be 20....this might suck...

You can always channel you inner merigayle and pack your down parka to run the race in. I have sadly done that TWICE this year. :o

Which one?
I'm really starting to get anxious...It's a long drive to Alcoa, TN, and the whole drive I'm going to be looking at the mileage watching how far 50 miles is....
Two days....
If you weren't freaking out, I'd be worried about you.
You are feeling exactly how you are supposed to be right now!

I got ONE hour sleep last night, and the whole time I dreamed that I was telling people how little sleep I got! :hah:

Slow and steady. Those who are in a hurry at the start usually blow up before the end.
