Paz welcomes Hundo back to the pod for a chat about our upcoming races. The nerves and ghost pains are kicking in. I am more worried about the voices in my head and have some ideas about how to quiet them. We also debate the merits of bringing food to the race to eat between those 16-plus-mile loops. (There's three of them). We also debate whether my strategy of using timed intervals is wise versus going by feel: run when you can and walk when you can't.
