Well 26 miles today. Interview with Greenwood Newspaper today, nice young man named Taylor. Stopped short of this Kermit the Frog birthplace, in Leland, Mississippi today.
We moved our accommodations ahead to Greenwood where for the first time the newspaper came out before I ran through the town! Usually I am 26 to 52 miles past the town by the time people read about it. This way they get to see me and maybe move over and give me a little of the lane. Leg felt ok till 23 miles, I hope its getting better.

Well 611 6/10 miles in 24 days.
10 days running in pain has taken the fun out of this run so far, I am working on my leg and I know it will be okay or I will have to take some time off. It will be all worth it as was my last Transcon Run in 2005. 105 days 27 1/2 miles per day.
Hit some long up hills I didn't need. But nice shoulder let my foot hit flat and straight.

Not much to see, today was cold and windy. My kind of running, I am a cold weather runner. I don't like running in snow, but my weakness is heat so I am already thinking about when I go across the Mojave Desert.
 Only 25 miles today as my shin splint needs rest, it is painful but at least my ankle is slowly healing. I have never had shin splints, I dont like them. I know I got it on that leg because I was hitting it wrong because of my sprained ankle. Don Shepard a former transcon runner wrote he had to walk for two weeks in army boots until his shin splints healed. He crossed in 73 days. That's 45 miles a day!
No traffic I ran right on the road and hit soft and flat without having to jump off road, then I remembered its Saturday less traffic.

Well 26 miles 560 6/10 miles so far. I met a man who is homeless because his house burnt down and he left Utah and is heading to South Carolina, I gave him $20.00 and Dave gave him dog food for his dog. He stole my lunch that was stashed on the side of the road and I don't blame him. He sleeps outside but last night he got a free room at a local motel,
I liked his 500 lb trailer he was pulling 30 to 50 miles a day with his bike.
The gas picture was at 25 miles and that is when I am really out of gas!

Well 26 more miles towards my goal today. But still way short on donations so far, I am sure it will pick up. I did a TV interview today, Channel 4 WCBI News here in Columbus, Mississippi. I don't know what it turned out like I was too busy to watch. A lot to do after run everyday. Never enough rest or sleep. Its all part of it though. Rained all day, busy traffic but a nice shoulder. Bought heating pad for shin and ankle problem tonight I hope with icing and heat it will help. It will rain all day tomorrow also, but that doesn't bother me like it used to.
