January 24th, Tuesday

I took the day off yesterday for many reasons, weather, work, but mostly I forgot a key piece of equipment for my run, my socks!  Anyway, no worries as I put in 10.38 miles doing the run west along the 56 going to the Hwy 5 and back.  Great weather but I did have a small issue with my underarmor getting a hole and now I have a nice welt/rash on my inner thigh.  Might be painful until I get it to heal.

On the brighter side, I broke the 150 mile mark and am still plowing forward toward my goal.  I GREATLY appreciate all your comments (I would love more!) so please don't be shy!  It really gives me motivation.  I got a great email from Stephanie Kourie, the mother of a cross country runner who knew Gar Millay.  I welcome your stories about other cancer warriors, Parkinson's warriors (Thanks Ron & Stacey Jess).  Feel free to share them here if you like! :)

As of today's total, I could have run to Yuma, AZ or Lancaster, CA (these are straight line distances, not following roads, so they will be different than driving distances! :)

I will leave you with a quote from the Sci-Fi Author Ray Bradbury:

"Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down"

Thank you for your efforts and please don't stop!  Now that I know my folks are locked in here now, I will finish all my posts with this: I Love you Mom & Dad!
