Just looking at the number alone can be intimidating, but I think I have my newbie ultra-tude revved up and I'm more excited than anxious.
That's because, thankfully, I've put in some decent training, and I am committed to doing this, and I shall deliver! (Meaning, to just finish the darn thing. No DNFs. Hopefully not!)
What you learn about yourself when you challenge yourself, especially the honesty that training demands - is seriously a cool journey. The other day I completed a 3.5 hour running workout. If that wasn't difficult enough, the real challenge lay in repeating it again the next day. Physical fatigue? Definitely there. The mental fatigue? Seemed harder to battle.
Last workout out before I start the taper...
