FOMO. Any of you ever hear of this? We all get it. I have it right now. I just went through the medical check, got my I.D. bracelet, picked up my race bag, talked to a few familiar faces, and now I sit in Provin' Ground letting my mind wander. Bad idea, letting the mind wander at a time like this.
I have a serious case of FOMO. Fear Of Missing Out. That's right, I'm reconsidering the race. I knew I would. I just didn't know it would be this strong. I'm freakin' out more than if I knew I was starting. I want to go. I know that if I start I won't be able to quit until someone else tells me I'm done. I have to get this figured out soon. If I'm going to be at the start I have to get drop bags ready. The thing is I don't care if I can't finish. Given that attitude, maybe this is the perfect time to be in the race. Just go with no pressure. Ah crap! I'm freakin' out.
All I can think about is how much fun it was last year. I've apparently forgotten the pain. That's a good thing...I think. Twisted, but good. It's the fun, the excitement that makes me want to be out there. I've got 3 hours to figure it out.
Stay tuned.

anxiously waiting......I guess that means we know what you decided?
get your butt out there and start!
just don't let the lawyer beat you :)
Expecting your next post will state a 29 hour finish!
I was suffering from FOMO on Monday as I quickly emailed my manager asking if there was ANY way at this late notice I could get the Friday off to do Superior (I can't). That takes care of that! Could still do 50 I suppose and drive up Friday night, but I'm not sure yet.
