No pain here

Next week, I'll be taking on a 100-mile race! Technically, I'm a new to this particular distance. I've run further before, but never actually in a 100 miles race setting.

The race is a point-to-point course and, weather permitting, it should offer a very runnable terrain with minimal elevation.

I'm excited to take on this new challenge and curious to see how my body will respond to the shock of an additional 60% distance compared to the races I've completed recently. It's been 3 years since I last ran over 100km, and it seems I've erased any memory of the temporary pain one experiences, only remembering the incredible sense of accomplishment at the end.

So perhaps there wasn't any pain at all?
Maybe that's the right mindset to have getting into it.
