Almost there

I know, you are tired to wish me luck already:)
However, I am bored out of my mind with taper. Silly, the less I run the less I want to run, the more sluggish and slow my runs are, the tighter I feel in leg muscles. Like what's the point to get up and dress for 4 miles and then be bothered with shower?
Anyway, I finished my last run for this week. I'll go to sauna one last time after work. I don't know how much it helps, but nothing else I can do about the upcoming heat. Speaking of which, I am sickly excited about it. You know, the unknown...something that can give me a new focus. It was hard to think of time goal and trying to figure if I can beat my last year's time. The new addition of fire-wrecked trails with more elevation gain and more exposure...the insanely tough field this year...(what is another excitement all in its own right - how cool is that! Everybody will be at WS this year, EVERYBODY!) Now I am profoundly adjusting my plan and curious to see how my body will react to the temps. If I can stay hydrated and cool. If I can be re-born by night time and have enough legs left. If I can still squeek for the silver buckle...or not. How I will behave mentally when the problems arise...We all will face the same problem on the race day, and I wish everyone only the best. This is what I love about running a 100M - it's a personal challenge, it's all about how YOU personally can deal with it, not who is where and who is faster. Should I figure out how to cary an extra bottle or rely on my usual two? Do I want bandana with ice? (it will ruin my tan lines:)) Should I get the buzz cut tonight?
Found my last year's pictures for some kicks. What Bushwhacker promosed to deliver to me personally in his comment:)

Don't I look like I am having way too much fun? Corky me and my corky pacer. Will I have fun this year? Do I have it in me to push through? The uncertainties are what draws me to this kind of races. I can never predict anything. This is totally cool! I have chills thinking of it. Finally, just about time to get excited! I had a dream that I forgot to wear a timing chip (they have it for second year now). And that I came to Foresthill from different end. And can't find my crew...Is it flight day yet? Tomorrow, I am going there tomorrow, and for the next 3 days it's all I'll be living - WS100!
Hey, best to all! Lets rock-n-roll!

p.s. and when and if anybody ever not sure how far the human body can push - look no further than at Glenn's pictures of Scott Jurek's amazing Badwater run. Un-believable! Every time I need an inspiration - I come here. Thanks, G!
