Mileage for today: 39 Enter 13th state. Starting point is the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte located at 1600 East Morehead. Stopping point is the McDonald's on Lancaster Highway in Richburg. Today's run is dedicated to the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte. Careful, it spits. Today was a little longer run that originally intended due to the change in starting spot. I did get to run the first 11.5 miles with Geoff and then another 3 with Jen. Then the next 20+ miles was solo. The weather was cool, but not as chilly as it has been the last few days. While running with Geoff, I did manage to add two more animals to the Four Million Steps Petting Zoo. Believe it or not, we encountered not only a donkey but a camel as well. Who the hell would have thought there would be a camel on the side of the road in South Carolina? Good news is the camel didn't spit on me. While chugging along with Jen, I spotted a South Carolina license plate on a fence post. Unfortunately it was nailed to the post and I couldn't get it off. Doesn't count. Damn. Later I did spot the 7th pair of women's skivvies. Although the route was fairly hilly, I struggled toward the end not because of the terrain, but more because of the long day. I felt strong, but the day did kick me in the ass a bit. I capped off the day with an ice bath. |
