Day 3,986 —Mentally Preparing for the 200—

 

         I should be focused more on this run, this moment. It is a beautiful day. I thought this morning that I should set up the tent to clean it and air it out, but I had no desire to get that tent out again. I am tempted just to buy a new tent. It is not like there is anything wrong with that tent. It just isn’t the one I would buy if I bought one. I cannot believe how soon the 200-mile race is from now! I was just doing some homework, which is something else I have to do before the week of my race, but I also need the big things like shoes, shirts, socks, and shorts. I think I need to buy maybe 5 of each? I just don’t want to depend on anyone having to do laundry, so I imagine so many dirty clothes in a bag piled up.

         I picked out some shoes yesterday. I worked more on the video yesterday, and I still need to do the titles and edit the music, but it isn’t that bad. I wish I could spend more time taking better videos and pictures, but this race I didn’t want to take any. It was such a struggle to record videos and take pictures. I am not sure why, but I just didn’t want to think about it.
