Suffer on Centennial is only two months away. It’s time to get serious. It’s time to dial things in. It’s time to envision exactly where on this grand day of adventure I will puke, and where I will cry, and remind myself exactly how many kudos I will rake in if I complete this challenge.

Seriously though, when I decided to sign up for some epic races this year, I knew there would be sacrifices to make in order to do them well. Between work and family responsibilities, there’s only so much time in the day, and only so much energy to point in the direction of recreation and hobbies. Even art and writing might take a back seat for a bit, unless I can use my creative energies as training fuel, as you see above. 😉
