that's it. i ran my last 4 miles on US soil. this is about to get very real, very quickly. like when i roll out in about 30 minutes, that kind of real.
got a lot on my mind.
1) goddam root canal. i thought i was done, and last night's appnt was just a check up. when i sat down, i said "so what are we in for today?". to my dismay, the answer was "the 2nd half of the procedure, so prepare to get numbed up". that was hell. 8 shots of novacain. more drilling, scraping, packing, filling. another Rx for antibiotics and pain-killers. head and tooth are throbbing again. how can i relax and taper and prep and recover when my body keep getting this dental trauma. argh!
2) my best friend in the world is in the hospital with a pulmonary embolism, related to a sports injury a few weeks back. that's serious, but i know he's in the right place. hey, i know you probably won't be reading this, but if you do, you know that I did all of this, in fact i did any any of this, because you asked me to. thanks for the USMC Mud Run.
oh well. the cards are dealt, now i play my hand. off on an adventure, on foreign soil, running solo.
4 and a wake-up. 6 miles to the start line.
