Day 3,680 —Almost Over and the Berryman 50 (52)—

 It is the second to last Friday of the school year, and thinking about the race tomorrow. Perseus started putting his paws on my face and walked around my pillow. Then, he purrs and sits down next to my face. If Felix is in bed with us, he smiles and tries to pet Perseus. I consider not getting up but if not now when?

I felt exhausted during this run today. I wonder how I am going to run 52 miles tomorrow because I feel out of shape, which might sound odd, but I do. I am sure I will feel better when I am out there surrounded by trees with nothing and no one to see for miles and miles.

That’s not super accurate considering that over 50 runners are doing this race and 100 are doing the marathon, but in trail races, there are sections where I will be alone for hours.
