In all
honesty my training for the JFK 50 has exceeded all expectations. What bothers
me is that all will depend of the fickle nature of five feet of large
intestine.
Thank God I don’t
have to listen to myself. Over the past few months, friends who have asked, “How
are you doing?” often wish they never asked. (TMI I’m afraid) Recently I have
noticed a distinct drop off of questions regarding my health. “How about those
Redskins”, might be a quick diversionary substitute? Well, they suck almost as
bad as my guts do.
Never the
less, my “Plan” is now set. Race preparation will start Tuesday night with a
double dose of Miralax, this will, well you might guess …. Start things rolling
Wednesday.
Wednesday
evening I will enjoy a soup type dinner along with ¾ to 1 bottle of a nice
Merlot which will keep the “fun” rolling into Thursday.
Thursday and
Friday will be low fiber days with lots of rice and pasta.
We’ll see ……
the plan is set. If I succeed it might make an interesting article for Ultra
Running Magazine.
Thanks to
all my patient friends, my patient wife and family. I could not have gotten this
far without you.
I will not
post until after the race, finish or not it has been one hell of a ride.
Mike
