Birkie Fever

Why? Why? Why? I think it was Leah who asked me why I decided to sign up for the Birkie. My response was, "It's the same reason I signed up last time...one too many beers and one too many days of winter boredom". So this past weekend Jon and I drove up to Hayward to do some training on the Birkie Trail. I forgot how hard that darn trail is! After 30 km I was exhausted. I'm not sure how I'll make 54 km in just 3 short weeks. My favorite Chinese proverb seems relevant: "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". Wish me luck!
