Showtime !!!

Having to be honest with you, the 3 weeks of traveling/vacation didn't help my training, however with the limited resources we have here in NJ, my training on the treadmill was the primary avenue of training for such a run ( The Mount Washington Road Race ) or affectionately know as the "Rock Pile". Mt Washington is the highest peak in the Northeastern United States at 6,288 ft (1,917 m). It is famous for its dangerously erratic weather at the peak.The Mt. Washington Auto Road is 7.6 miles in length, has an average grade of 11.5% with extended sections of 18%, and the last 50 yards is a 22% "wall" to the finish.
Mentally I'm ready , Physically I wanted to go into the race weighing 175lbs,..... I'm leaving NJ at 183lbs, no injuries and feeling physically fit to complete the race. I'm going to go out on a limb and say my goal is to finish under 2:00 hrs.....Nature is a mother!!!! Wish me luck.

On a side note, I'm going to be staying with Mike and Rich Laracy, looking forward to seeing some old friends.
