Today I am packing up and driving to Baton Rouge where I'll spend the rest of my time training. I'm very excited because its training ground that I'm use to, which makes getting ready for race day almost seamless. I've had an excellent string of runs the past few days. I know that I won't be able to run any faster than about five mph on race day, but I've been training at about seven mph for between two and three hours. Yesterday was tough, though. I didn't have a fever, but it was one of those days where your body just shuts down. I was tired, had a headache, and thought I maybe was coming down with the flu. I was probably just a little dehydrated. However, as I finish this blog I'm rolling out the door to get in some miles, probably about 20...or at least 3 hours.
Happy running...and check out the Teaser Trailer link on the right. It's only a minute long and, I think, is pretty motivating.
On April 25th and 26th Brady Hendrix is going to attempt the ultimate physical feat. By running 100 miles in less than 24 hours, he is hoping to help Relay for Life in fighting the battle against cancer. The course follows the Natchez Trace through 50 miles of beautiful "God's Country" towards Jackson, MS. Upon reaching the 50 mile mark, Brady will turn around and finish amidst trumpets and fan fare in Natchez.

A Mile (or 100) in These Shoes...
- Brady
- I started running during the 7th grade. I was sitting in a final period study hall when Coach King came in and asked who wanted to sit in study hall and who wanted to go run for the track team. I had no desire to run at all...but a girl I had a crush on got up to be on the team. I've been running ever since.
A Special Thanks

Aloha Brady. Good luck on your event. Baton Rouge is my home town. If you need any logistical help, I could probably swing something since you'll run past my sister's house. I'm running the HURT 100 next weekend, so best of luck to you on your event as I return for my second 100 since my cancer. Later - Paul
