Mileage for today: 34.5 Enter 12th state. Starting point is on Rt. 13 in Suffolk, VA. Stopping point is at 1484 E Memorial in Ahoskie. Giddy up llama. I started out today in Suffolk the dog fighting capital of Virginia or as the locals like to day, Michael Vick's house. There wasn't much going on with today's run. Probably the coolest thing was that I saw two horses grazing in the field. One of the horses was rather skinny and hairy. I stead of doing my usual "Oh Wilbur" I just blurted out, "hey." When the two horses looked up, I noticed one of them wasn't a horse at all it was a llama. Well, today's run was a bit longer than expected. Suppose to be a 31 mile day and turned into a 34.5 mile day. I did have some good company with my friend Joe. Joe managed 15 miles and more importantly followed me the rest of the way. That turned out to be huge seeing as the last 8 miles or so it got very hot. I made the mistake of not wearing my ugly Gilligan hat to vend off the sun. My face got some good sun, but it wore me out. Joe must have filled up my water bottle four times in those 8 miles and even hooked me up with a double cheeseburger. |
