60 days until Hood to Coast, and my enthusiasm only increases. The team is being assembled. RSG will have two teams, and I am on Team A. At this point 7 of the 12 are confirmed. I think we need to kick the other 5 in the butt to get them confirmed.
My running has gone well. I'm able to run longer without taking walking breaks, which makes me happy. I haven't decided how I will do this yet out on the course, but I seem to have more stamina in my running. This actually surprises me because of all the hilly roads I'm running.
At this point though the training gets ramped up a bit. Now I look at days where I not only run longer, but I run a couple times during a day. I won't do two a days every day, but will incorporate that into my running.
While I don't know the legs I'm running yet, I am studying the map so I won't be too surprised. In that respect this is no different than other races I've run. I typically know the course map pretty well going into a race.
I feel healthy. I'm eating better and better, which is a key. My body appreciates it to be sure. Mark has concerns now and then about how I will do. The answer is you don't know, but you train to do your best, and you hope everything comes together. More often than not, it does.
The elephant in the room for some folks is how is my heart doing. I'm great! My heart is great, and I am doing all the right things. I'm confident heading into this race.
I've ordered a Hood to Coast shirt which should arrive any day now. That is when I will really know this is happening.
Thumbs up for now....with 60 days to go.
Charlie
