I have completed at least 10 books on the topic and I believe I fully understand the difficulty of the undertaking. However, the poems put the struggle in terms so much more immediate than do any longer stories.<BR/><BR/>I am very excited and nervous at the same time. My flight leaves in less than 72 hours and already it is becoming hard to focus on anything else.<BR/><BR/>I have been training fanatically for about 5 months but the unknown is what lingers in the back of my mind and keeps be on egde.<BR/><BR/>I promise to let the blog know how it goes when I return.
