Monday 
So, it's the day after, and I'm feeling wrecked. I think that's more from the flu than from the event, but still. There we are.
Yesterday as I was doing the Hippie Chick, I was comparing it to the last walking event I did, the 31K AVA walk. At the AVA walk, I noticed very little trash. None of this quarter mile of abandoned paper cups after an aid station, bits of wrappers all over the place.
Whereas, at the Champoeg 30K, I threw my first paper cup on the ground ever, being practically shamed into doing it by a volunteer.
Still, I don't know that I've ever felt that relaxed in a race. If the volkswalk enabled that, than that's really good. Though maybe I was too relaxed. Oh well.
It looks like the next race is the Gorge Marathon. Yesterday, I had lots of doubts on if it's doable. It's hilly. It's 26.2 miles. But if I can do the 21 miler this weekend, I should be in good shape. I just gotta do it.

Your mileage just amazes me, VJ. 21 miles this weekend? Wow!
I don't know if I could manage so many races in a year. I need time to think, delay, and obsess about every little detail and that makes it tough to do too many. I think I need to relax a little bit more about it.
