Baltic Run 2010


Next stage race will be in July - the Baltic Run, north from Berlin to the Baltic Sea. Two hundred miles over five days. Claire and I are both signed up - if all goes according to plan, this will be our first stage race together.

After her strong showing at this year's Tahoe Triple, it'll be interesting to see how Claire holds up over more and longer stages. She's certainly in much better shape than me right now. My weight has ballooned to 180 lbs (up 21 lbs since Trans Europe), and my legs are very sore each time I attempt to run a few miles as we did together this morning. But at least the Texas weather is now cooler, and so the time running together passes quickly.

Sounds like a great stage race. Good luck with the training and with the race, of course.

What do you mean by "a few miles"? I'm reading "Born to Run" now (right after I read your book which was fantastic!). Now when I hear "a few miles" I'm unsure of what "a few" means. :)

Awesome! Sounds like some busy-good months ahead. I look forward to hearing about your prep and amazing experience...on foot.
