Wayne Webb I Need Your Help

For many weeks now on a running list there is a runner who targeted a goal race. He has gone on to describe his training, his mileage, his type of runs. He has gone on about his nutrition, hydration, shoes, he's even lined his shoes out on the living room table and left them out overnight to decide in the morning which one he will wear, complete with a picture to proof it. I figured his wife has to love that, she's not a runner. Then there was the taper before the race, what to do, what not to do. Then pictures of his drop bags, first the stuff laid out in neat piles on the floor, then packed in the tubs he explained he got a great deal on at Walmart. Tons of stuff, I thought about my first hundred, I was asked are you taking all that to eat or are you running?  He then began a science project growing stuff in a thermos to see after 24 hours how hot or cold in this case soup would remain, cause he sure liked soup at night. Then the lad starts talking about how is wife is quite upset about the expense of all the races  he has or might enter, and what to do about that. Now it is about nightmares he's having about the race itself, not staying on course, signing in and out, and what to do about that. He has remembered to address the running demons with taping positive messages in his drop bag lids, and notes to remember he is strong, determined and persevering. I really don't know what to make of it. I truly hope with all that's he's talked about to hundreds of folks he actually finishes that race.
