I have followed the training program in it as close as possible and feel I am about as ready as I am going to get. Reading the numerous threads on here has been a great help in my prep and I appreciate all the good information.
Dan:

Do your reading between workouts, follow the PT program, and try to run in the sauna or something to simulate MacKall.

High temps here in Aug were record with several consecutive days at 107 actual or above, and only a few where the high was not at least 90.

Welcome all and best of luck.
