Mileage for today: 39 Starting point is at Clyde's Market on Scarboro Hwy in Rocky Ford. Stopping point is the Pizza Chef Restaurant on Central Avenue in Guyton. Today's run dedicated to the memory of Denise Terwilliger's son Bret. Bret lost his battle with cancer in March of 2003 at the age of 8 months. Bret's dedication is submitted by Bridget Bennett and the online running group, the Kingdom of White Flows. Life is a Highway. Night number three in the tent turned out to be the least restful. It wasn't horrible, I just couldn't find a good groove in the ground to get my skinny ass to settle into. No worries, I did get some rest, stayed warm and didn't get mauled by zombies, so all is well. My journey today consisted of one road and one road only - Route 17. I was on 17 for about 12 miles yesterday and I think we are now dating. I stopped for lunch at this little BBQ place called Rowell's. They let me charge up my cell phone which was on one bar of life. I can pretty much sum up what is on Route 17 with 4 simple words - nothing. In about 52 miles of road prior to Guyton, there were two restaurants, a gas station and Dig's Septic Service. And to make matters worse . . . okay, it really doesn't get much worse that Dig's. When I finally got to the little oasis known as Guyton, I ordered a medium pizza and stocked up on supplies at the local grocery store. A few bottles of water, some tuna, a can of pear halves in heavy syrup (breakfast of champions), some junk food and a bottle of melon flavored Boone's Farm (you know, the green one). I don't think I've had Boone's Farm since I stole my sisters when I was about 15, but for some reason it was calling my name and damn it, I answered. |
