No pictures today, ran with busy traffic nothing much to see. Ran with Drew today for about 4 miles, he ran up behind me almost gave me a heart attack then pepper spray. Drew had done 7 miles earlier and then had to run back to his car when he left. I fell for the first time ever running and wasn't happy until he showed up. He competes at the half marathon distance. Thanks for coming out Drew you ran further than, or as far as, your friend Kym Klass who came out and interviewed me while running 4 miles. She holds the record for longest running reporter who ever ran with me on any Transcon run so far. She also competes at 1/2 Marathon distance for now. I forget the camera guys name but he did a lot of running with heavy gear, camera's 2ft lens. Kym works for Montgomery Advertiser News. Thanks for coming out. 26 more miles towards California. Easy day.

Well I never quit any race or run, I believe God wants what I want and I want this.
People are also depending on me to get them some donations. Tough day after 15 miles I ran too fast yesterday so it is expected.
No shoulder but low traffic. Nice uneventful day. 26 more miles towards California. 13 days running 329 6/10 miles. About 15 miles short of busy Montgomery, Alabama. Ran with flash light facing backwards so cars can see from behind, it worked! I also have two flashing light clips. Only 2670 4/10 miles to go!!

One inch from being hit from behind by a semi truck passing another in the dark around a curve at mile 2. I never gave quitting the run a thought until then. Closest I came to dying ever, his mirror was over my head and the 30 MPH head wind hitting me had my head down leaning forward, I felt it sucking me in. I thought about all the people I would miss and the people I would never help if I died. So is it selfish to continue when you weigh them what does it mean. You know I came close to be talking like this. I always felt it was my destiny to do this. I bought a flash light and will carry it backwards in my hand, the road has no shoulder all the way through Montgomery. I came back to the motel with a couple of tears, I will think about this tomorrow, the Lord will give me the answer.
No pictures, saw huge buck, lunch stolen 2 days in a row. |
