135 days to go. That’s 19 something weeks.
About 18 weekends.
In general broad terms I have just over 4 and bit months to go. 2010 Speight’s Coast to Coast 2010 as an individual.
Hmmm counting down in months seems to draw the least increase to the heart rate. .....Months it is then…for now.
After a successful winter of keeping up maintenance mode with my paddling (thanks to the Brass Monkey Kayak Series) and working on turning my shuffle into running (thanks to Karen at Fit For Life) the ‘summer season’ has finally arrived and I find my diary already bursting at its tatty and torn seams with a plethora of events!
I will attempt to recall the hurt, pain oh yes and of course the shear thrill of these as well as my training for this journey. It always surprises me when I mention I am training for Coast to Coast peoples reactions - 'that’s incredible' 'so brave' 'crazy'...but most of all 'I could never do that'. So I am here to say - 'um yeah actually you can'....seriously. Alas I have no god gifted athletic talents or abilities - my driving force has solely to be the best I can and keep challenging my own limits.
Keep ya posted!

ReplyDeleteYou will kick ass at the C2C!!
I put my HRM on countdown for the days to Ironman and its surprising how easily you get used to seeing it! I'm working in weeks at the moment as well tho, I have 15 and a half to go!
I'll be following along Ruth. I already get a sense of the adventure that is before you with the very first post. You've got a good sense of humour which I'm sure will help during those times of WTF am I doing ;-) All the best!
ReplyDeleteHey Ruth, Long time no speak! Hope you are doing well - looks like you are! I am one of those that would say "brave you" and "I couldn't do it" but I guess what I would really mean would be WOW - YOU GO GIRL! I look forward to seeing your progress!
