83 days until the Antarctic Ice Marathon! Medical forms complete, emergency insurance acquired, plane tickets obtained, and first 10-mile run (longest since Cape Cod Marathon 2012, longest since Christmas knee problems, and longest in barefoot shoes!) under my belt! I'd say we're making excellent progress.
I had an entertaining (and momentous) exchange with a co-worker today on this subject. He approached while I was battling with the copy machine trying to replicate the packet of information I was preparing to send off to the race director.
Chuck: What are you doing?
me: Copying my medical forms for my marathon.
Chuck: You're running another marathon?
me: Yep.
Chuck: Where's this one?
me (having paused and eyeballed him for a second, since this is usually where people overreact and call me insane): Antarctica.
*pause*
Chuck: Like, in Antarctica?
me: Yes.
Chuck: Not like a snow race pretending to be in Antarctica?
me: Nope.
*pause*
Chuck: That is BAD ASS!
FINALLY!
Fun fact about Antarctica .... it's the highest continent on the planet. The average elevation is over two miles!! Maybe I should have planned a trip to the Rocky Mountains to get in some elevation training before this race ... yikes!
