Well 2 Motrin and lots of ice and lots of prayer, 26 miles today running like one leg was shorter than the other by a foot. 26 miles of waddling down the interstate. It took longer then I want to say but when I am hurt I run scared and the adrenalin is high.
I thought that seeing a bear or a cougar on one of my runs would be the best thing I could ever see. Well when a homeless man holding a cardboard sign asking for a handout at a busy intersection saw me run by, RUN ACROSS U.S.A. on my shirt, I was about 50 yards away and he limping with the same hurt leg/ankle as me started calling to me to stop and he just keep running until I stopped. He pulled $5.00 out of his pocket and when he got to me he stuffed it in the collar of my shirt, he would not take no for an answer, as he turned and started to run away I asked his name he said Junior, and I said "God Bless You Junior!" That was the best thing I will ever see no matter what, sorry bear and cougar. He didn't know I was running for people who had fallen on tough times like himself. Amazing!!!! I am afraid of what my ankle will feel like tomorrow, Pray and Motrin.
