Mileage for today: 32

Starting point is the Lighthouse Christian Academy on Martin Road in Midway.
Stopping point is the McDonald's on I-95 and Highway 251 in Darien.

Today's run is dedicated to Nat Bailey who is just starting a battle with cancer and it
looks like it is going to be an uphill fight.  It has been a logistical nightmare as his family
is in Virginia and Nat is in Germany working as an archaeologist.  This dedication was
submitted on behalf of Nat's brother-in-law Steve Durr.

You're a swell guy.

Well, I've been blessed with a nice infection in my leg that surprisingly doesn't bother me
when I run.  When I walk slow, yes, but run no.  It is still visibly swollen and hurts like hell
when my opposite foot clips the sore spot.  For the runners out there, you know where
the inside sole of you shoe clips your opposite calf?  Well that is exactly where the sore
is located.  Great.

It seems like I'll be spending a lot more quality time with Route 17.  I think she stretches
well into Florida.  She's been showering me with some treasures as I claimed license
plate #17 today and the amount of dead leprosy harboring armadillos have decreased
drastically.  You think she knows about the Highway Beautification Ladies from the other
day?  Oh, this could be a tricky love triangle.

I felt sluggish today.  Not sure if it was the infection or just getting worn out, but I didn't
have any pop to my stride.  Of course it could be because of being on the same damn
road again.  This is the second time that I've spent my entire run on Route 17.  However,
for some reason I picked things up the last 3 miles knocking them back in around 21
and 1/2 minutes.  That isn't a killer time, but it felt good to crank out a good effort at the
end of the day.
