Deep Breaths

I have been completely giddy about the entire Gobi endeavor for the last week or so. Maybe it was just the sugar high hangover from "testing" all the snacks this weekend, but yesterday I could not sit still. Just ask shower man- we had an extensive debate on the efficacy of deodorant wipes after three days without a shower. He won; they didn't make the cut. Sorry boys...

Today, though, I find myself in a quiet moment. There is still a lot of work to be done- both in my usual Hong Kong life and in preparation for the Gobi. I've been diligently crossing off the to-dos from my list, packing and repacking, counting the calorie content of Cheez-Its, and preparing to part with my dignity. Still I am overawed by the enormity of what is about to take place- the landscape, the race, the people, the journey...

I hate that I sound like VW commerical.

Only five days til the gun goes off...Go Gobi...
