With just weeks to go Brett peaked with a partially-supported
900 mile training run (300x3) through New Hampshire, the
White Mountains, and even part of Vermont. It's a good
thing that its time to taper because he's running out of
roads! Brett shares his thoughts that include his
training this past weekend and final preparations for
RAAM in, "900
Miles in the Bag (3,044 miles to go)!".

Brett's favorite training routes take him through the
beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire. But as you will read,

training in, "It's
Only Rain, You Won't Melt".
