Short run this morning with Twilight.

I have used www.mapmyrun.com to try and map my route for tomorrow.  If it is correct, it will be about 35 miles to my father's house.

Tomorrow may be a lot of walking if my knee bothers me.  I plan to be 'on the road' about 6 a.m.

PM me if you want my cell phone number to cheer me on during my adventure.

Twilight wanted to enjoy the sun this afternoon, so we did another mile and a half.

Call me anytime you want and as often as you want. I'm in no rush and will be just a phone call away.

WOW!!! that's an awesome insane L-O-N-G run. Be careful along those major highways. If I knew how to bike, I'd "sherpa" you along the way. Man, what an adventure! You're going somewhere, unlike most of us running in loops for miles and going nowhere. GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN and ENJOY this adventure. PM me your cell and I'll buzz you a cheer.

You are one crazy, motivated young lady! 34.4? Yikes. But I guess you are training for a 50 miler. 34.4? No big deal.

I wish I was going with you tomorrow!! Best of luck girlfriend, I have a lot of confidence in you, you will do good, just get the miles in, enjoy the journey!! Nice and easy, I will try and call you, if I can take my mind off of the dolphins jumping by and the music of the crashing waves lulling me to sleep!! Good luck!!!
