The countdown is on

Here it is.  The week of the Beast.  Back in April when I signed up for this race November was so far way.  Now I am less than a week a way from what is probably the biggest race to date.  Not only in distance.  (Which is unknown.  This is Spartan right?  It's billed as 12+ but no one really know until you cross the finish line.)  Add the obstacles and terrain and I am up for one heck of a challenge on Saturday. 

Part of me is ready.  Ready to run, ready to get it over with. 
But the other part is nervous and a little freaked out. 
I have not trained like I probably should have to prepare for a race of this magnitude.  My longest run has been 10 mile, which I've done twice in the last 5 weeks.  I was gonna do 11 or 12 week before last but I didn't.  I then decided that it was okay and I would do one more long run Sunday, but then I got sick.  My strength training has been lacking as well.  I average one strength training session per week.  And I know that it's not gonna cut it out on the course. 
I have been practicing my spear throw.  But have yet to really master the technique.  So I am hoping and praying for no burpees. 

This is probably the last race of the season for me.  My entire year of running and training (or lack there of) has come down to this race. 
I will finish
I will get that green medal
Better yet, I will get my trifecta medal.
I will wear it with pride.
Because I am SPARTAN!
