Brief post.

I'm officially entered into the Javalena Jundred.  Which is way more expensive than just talking about doing it.  This past week, I finished my first 'real' training week; it was a 50 mile week, and now I figure I can think of about 10 different synonyms for how tired I am.

Saturday after our wet, splashy 20 mile hike/walk/run, we stopped at Subway to get sandwiches.  I can't believe how fast I made that foot long disappear, but I had the presence of mind to turn town chips, which is amazing, for me.

So this Subway is about 60 miles from town, and who was sitting there but our family doctor!  It was pretty gratifying to run into our PCP while on our good behavior.  I've sat in his office, and can attest that we're probably the more healthier of the folks that come in there.

So that's it.  That's all I was going to say.  I'm tired, I'm hungry, and about $240 poorer than I was earlier today. I know that's cheaper than an Ironman, but it was still pretty stunning to see it in print.  The JJ100 is 6-15.5 mile loops, and then an 8 mile loop.  I'm a bit agoraphobic, so I liked the loop format.

The initial plans are that Baboo will do a lot of pacing (he's doing this race with me) and DP will boss me around between loops.  I'm pretty grateful for that, because I will probably be out of my mind by the time I've hit the end of the 4th loop, which I'd like to try to hit by 11 pm..
