Ran through downtown Albany, GA during lunch rush today. Finished just on the outskirts of town. Ran 26 miles today towards California. Feel good so far. I think the leg training I did before leaving for run is paying off now.
Good hotel rates here but a big busy town if you like that kind of thing. Palm trees here and a nice looking college with Palms all over. Here is some inspiration, hopefully to someone; If I was to compare myself to the guys that I know in this sport I would be a meatball. They run 47 miles a day across the United states, 71 days! But I know I cant do that.But I am happy doing my little marathon a day across U.S.A. My point is be happy with what you have (right now) know one knows you, like you know yourself, Your still alive, its time to do it. And when you get done working out, afterwards are you not always glad you did.
Day 9, Part 2 Ran through Dawson, and just past Greeves, Georgia today. 225.6 miles so far 9 days running. We move from our $30.00 a night Motel 6. I will miss you $$ We will look for similar accommodations in Georgetown,GA tomorrow. Route 82 turned into a two lane quiet back road, Dave and I said good place for dogs at the same time. Hope not. Rolling hills and cool weather and a nice shoulder, what more could a Transcon runner want. Cant wait to see what Route 82 has tomorrow, looks interesting so far.
My inspiration today was this. I saw a very heavy lady about 50 running in the opposite direction in Dawson today, and you could tell she was tired and giving it her all. And I was inspired! She was out there doing it and that always makes me think, Way to Go, you're out there when most would give up or make excuses. I was getting tired until I saw her. Thank You Miss, keep going.
