Calm Before the Storm
September 23rd, 2009 at 10:10 pm (Endurance Running, Home)
Am feeling strangely calm and detached from the entire event. It’s almost as if I have surrendered to the fact that the time is now almost upon me and there is just about nothing I can physically do to prepare for it anymore. It’s an unfamiliar liberating feeling to be entirely devoid of stress. Perhaps I am in denial mode and mentally escaping from the monumental task ahead. Whatever it is, I am beginning to relax and take things in stride and this can only be good for me.
The support I am receiving from people around me is absolutely tremendous. The offers of help; self-sacrificing generosity and encouraging words of affirmation strengthen me and shore up my spirit. And it is my spirit that needs stocking up at this point. Most of my gear has been purchased and most of the food has been tested. All that is left is to pack it all in and shed any excess weight; beef up my own body weight; try out some lunch snack combinations; and go for a few long walks.
I bend and flow with ease and all is well.
Love you all.
