In honor of National Running Day here is a post about running! I’m also getting a lot of hits from Google searches about Hood to Coast (two birds, one stone). Hood to Coast 2011 is coming up! I’m not running this year, either is my team (they didn’t get picked in the lottery).
Since so many people are stumbling upon my blog because of their desire to either start running, or prepare for HTC, here are some things I learned along the way in spending a YEAR training for Hood to Coast:

QUESTION: In honor of National Running Day, are you going to go for a run?

Huz is running something similar in July: Ragnar which goes from Blaine (Canada border) to Whidbey Island. I’ll make sure he checks out this post so he knows what to expect.

I think Nicole (Geek Turned Athlete) did the Spokane Ragnar last year. Maybe it’s the same one? He should definitely check out the links. A friend had given me the advice of putting all the complete changes of clothes into individual ziplock bags and it was SOOO helpful!

Wow – that all makes me want to lace up my running shoes and head out!

That’s awesome! I loved running so much. It was a liberating experience.
