Two days from insanity/my last run

Two days from now I will have finished my first segment and will be traveling to my second segment. I expect the first day to be much easier because a) I wouldn't have logged as many miles and b) I'll be closer to home, so I can rest more in between.

I have now officially transitioned from prep and promotion to unbridled fear that I'm going to fail. I'm recognizing how insane this thing is going to be and I'm now a little worried that my body hasn't truly come to grips with it.

I'm worried about time in between runs, whether my stomach will get upset, even from food that I eat all the time. How will I feel in the second, much less the 5th or 6th segment? Ah, the trepidation phase of the run. My least favorite time.

That said, I'm about 20 minutes from my last run prior to the event this weekend. I haven't run since my half-marathon almost two weeks ago because I was nursing a bad back. I wanted to let my back heal and I knew that the extra two weeks of training weren't going to help me more than a healthy back would.

Wow. This thing is really going to happen.
