• General: Well that's it, I'm officially done training until my first attempt at running 100 miles. I didn't squat today just to be safe. Besides what I do in classes the next few days (I am a PE major so we have to move around a lot in class) I will be doing very little physical movement over the next 4 days. I'm also pretty excited to take 2-3 weeks off of strength training to let my body catch up and allow me to come back unbelievably anxious to hit the barbells again.
• Nutrition: Good
• Body: Feel decent. My back is STILL not better, which really sucks. They offer free PT on campus here which I may look into after the race. At this point I don't know what to do.
• Sleep: 9 hours consistently the last few nights
• Reflections: So I'm really thinking a lot about this race, getting really excited for it but I'm also pretty nervous. I have not run much at all and that won't give me too much confidence going into it but I'm a confident person that honestly believes I can do whatever I set my mind to. I've been putting myself there the last few days, middle of the night with 40 miles to go and just pushing through it. I'm ready and I want to finally get it under my belt so that I can move onto the next face of my life with training. I can honestly say that after this race I do not think I will attempt any more ultras for the time being, unless of course I do not run 105 miles where upon I will go for it again. Failure is not  an option to me but you never know what could happen. Side note, but I'm also planning on getting my third tattoo to signify that I ran 100 miles in my lifetime sometime after the race. I'd like to hear any suggestions if anyone has one. Thinking something to do with "Born to Run" because that hooked me on it.

Looking ahead to past the race, I'm thinking that I may give the Crossfit games a shot next year. I got an invite to enter as an affiliate team near my house (along with my best friend and training partner and his little brother). I have a great resource 10 minutes from my school in Crossfit Iron Will as the owner there is a genuine great guy and programs really well. So as now, I'm thinking that may be my next goal in training. I may join CFIW and train there full time as there are a few fire breathers there and it's not too expensive. Who knows what will happen and I shouldn't even be thinking about it right now but I want to write it down to reflect on my thoughts in a month or so.
