Mileage for today: 22

Starting point is the McDonald's on Lancaster Highway in Richburg.
Stopping point is on Route 21outside of Great Falls.

Today's run is dedicated to Jeanne Baines who passed away August 2007 after a long
and courageous battle against breast cancer.  Submitted by her friend and neighbor,
Cindy Steger.

Here's your sign.

Well, today I left the my friend Jen.  Jen has been a great host the last few days.  I've had
the pleasure of spending 4 nights in the same place - defiantly a record on this run.   To
make things even better, I got to see some of the coolest places in Charlotte.

As far as the run goes, there was nothing special about it.  Because I didn't have a
designated stopping spot, I actually put in about 2 extra miles before being picked up.  
The last 4 or 5 miles were actually extremely hard.  I had to take route 21 heading toward
Columbia and it had some of the hardest hills I've seen all trip.  Pretty brutal, but in a
weird sort of way enjoyable.

I finally ended my day at this old rundown store that probably hasn't been open for a few
years.  As I waiting the owner of the property came by me.  He didn't ask me any
questions, but was looking at the back of the stroller.  He mumbled something and I got
up to find out what he was talking about.  Apparently there was this old 'Closed' sign by
the stroller.  He said that sign was his, so . . . here's your sign.
