Okay, so I laid around in bed an extra hour yesterday and did not get the seven hours in that I originally planned. No big deal! I did have a fabulous run even if it was an hour shorter than I had planned.
The weather was perfect. I did 40 miles in about six hours, which included 15-20 minutes or so of breaks. I felt great at the end and had plenty of gas left in the tank. It gave me a lot of confidence.
As I was running home from Tiburon, I came across a middle aged looking guy in an electric wheel chair. It hit me like a ton of bricks how darn lucky I am to be able to walk, let alone decide to run across the country. I wondered what the man was thinking as he saw me in my running gear, back pack and what-not. After seeing this guy on the trail, I did not think about how much I ached the rest of the run.
344 days to go!!!
