16 Days and counting

Have you looked at your calendar?  I'm trying not to. 
 
It's MayRace month.
 
What are they happy about?
 
I'm in denial that in 16 more days I will be giving up sleep, comfort, civilized bathroom facilities and sanity for the privilege of running 103.7 miles. 
 
HOLY SHIT!
sorry mom
 
 
I've done what will most likely be my last serious training run on the course.  The weather is being stalked.  Drop bags are being complied.  Aid station cut off times are being memorized.  Planning gear to cover potentially 36 hours of running.  Read years of MMT race reports.  Multiple new shoes being broke in.  Maps ordered.  New headlamp purchased. 
 

 
 
Contents on stomach so far being held in.
