I like it Liane. I had the same questions when I tried this run last year. Why Not. I know you can do it and I know you prepared well for it (even though I do not know you). it is a serious endeavor but the benefits are great. Please don't end up like me with a broken foot nearing the end of day 3 and not get to finish. Take good care of yourself and learn to enjoy going at your own pace so you can finish and enjoy.

I love this blog entry - "why not" is exactly the answer. Go get 'em and have fun!
