And by "coming up", I mean tomorrow.

So if you live in the Northwest, you might have heard of Hood to Coast. It is a 195-mile, twelve-man team running event that goes from (SPOILER ALERT) Mt. Hood to the Pacific coast.

The high school version is Portland to Coast, which is significantly shorter but still way too long. And I got dragged into it this year.

Shiiiiiit.

Since I haven't experienced it before, I'm gonna sum it up as best as I can: two vans, six teens in each. A lot of food and Gatorade. One guy running at 3:00 in the morning while the other five feign sleep. Oh, and more food. And hills. And bears. And Northwest stuff. And people pretending to be bears. And I'M GONNA BE RUNNING IN MY BOXERS WOOHOO

...well, I'm definitely going to shoot for that last bit. Hopefully I don't get in a crazy fistfight with a bear.

EDIT: If you wanna catch me during the race, I'm running legs 18 and 30. If you have a hose nearby, I'd love it if you'd cool me off.
