40 Days To Go!

40 days until Dopey 2020 for Autism Speaks

The 40-day mark was Nov 29th, but I forgot to share an update due to the Thanksgiving holiday. So here’s a quick recap. The weekend before I finished my first 20-miler. In the rain… And it was windy with temps dropping from 50 to 40 during my 4-hour run. A big cold front was pushing through, but I needed to stay on schedule and this was the only 4-hour block I had available. So I did it. At first it was fun, but after running in wet socks for 2 hours it was pretty miserable. It finally stopped raining and I changed socks, but then accidentally ran through a puddle and the 2nd pair got drenched anyways.

We spent Thanksgiving on a family ranch and I ran in the “country” for the first time. It was amazingly peaceful. But hills…. Oh my hamstrings!
