GSM (GoGet Some Miles) 8.03 4AM Report

 A weekend with 65s back to back Saturday & Sunday. Friday night took a hotel in St. Petersburg Florida to ease the 4 AM Morning start. 

It’s a great opportunity to have some companionship during a 65 miler alongside the dirty beer run in Saint Pete on August 3rd.  Lots of crazy, cool people that love to just go get some miles!

Pay attention… soon we have a run sign up coming your way for project Campbell’s virtual world record run across America get a team and see if you can do 3067 miles in 42 days like Nelle is going to attempt!

GSM 8.01 AM report - Food (blech!)

Never stop that’s my motto…Trying to get caloric intake at the level of a daily marathon 26 miles (intake should be min 5,000on these days) 4x's before the 65 miler(9,000 on these days ) on Saturday & Sunday. 

A creative suggestion was presented on this early a.m., but denied 😢 was the buttery delicious pastina pasta, fat calorie butter loaded little dish.

Or so I thought...found out I missed the turn around point of his run (well excuse me, I'm only up since 3:45AM)

Athletes go through to challenges with their stomach likes and dislikes. The agony of constant intake is a major mental challenge.  We are no exception.

It’s a never-ending challenge to get in what is needed to satisfy 9000+ calories in a single day.

But I'm happy to report, it was scooped up instantly upon his end of run!  

Now that follow on protein shake & breakfast are next!

But we're not done yet....harnessing our Winston Churchill

Grinding 243 GSM

 GSM “GoGetSomeMiles”

Today started like the rest of the week will 3 AM wake up for 330 departure of the Athlete Tough as NELS.  He’s going to put in 243 training miles this week running a marathon every morning before going to work, topping off the weekend with back to back 65 miles in our home sweet hometown of Bradenton Sarasota, Florida.

He’s the one moving his feet, but I’m the one helping the rest of life keep on beat. Logistics meetings, athlete bodywork/nutrition consultations , Transcon crew roundup…and the beat goes on & on and on 

We couldn’t do it alone. There are many beautiful souls with their hand in the mix of keeping our machine moving towards the starting line forever grateful you all know who you are.
