Doing well but are you trying to go too fast. Lucky little rain but dont forget to use internal hydration - that's 2 to 3 water a day. Sorry not beer. The bad news is your rest periods will get progressively shorter still. Can you believe Sarah will be expecting you to have NO rest periods soon. Just saying!
