Gliding my feet (because I don't have winter Drymax socks...actually I am not sure if they make maximum protection socks for winter)
Diet Mountain Dew, the Beverage of Champions, right?? Mountain Dew really should sponsor me because I pound this stuff like a champ!
Excited(?) about Weverton cliffs...okay not very excited about the prospect of the cliffs, but excited that they signify the end of the AT! And I have not fallen, Wahoo!!!
With the Bridge by Harpers Ferry. What a pretty day for a 50 miler (well at least at this time...pretty quickly the winds really picked up and clouds came in. But on a positive note, it never rained, hailed or lighteninged!)
Runners along the road heading into Williamsport. Again it is a really beautiful day and the sunset was spectacular. All it needed was to be about 40 degree's warmer and less wind and I would have been REALLY happy!
It's Thanksgiving and because I just ran the 50 miler I can eat whatever I want today!
To start my day, I volunteered at the Bethesda Turkey Chase. I pondered participating in the 2 mile walk or the 10 km run, but decided to simply volunteer then walk the course backwards cheering runners. I had a cowbell and gave the runners what they wanted (More Cowbell!) After walking 2 miles backwards on the course cheering on runners I was happy when I saw the volunteer bus picking up course marshalls--I wimped out and took it back.
After finishing volunteering/cheering, I met up with Tristan and Gilligan at the Fractured Prune for hot donuts. We got a dozen , YUM!
And that starts my list of things I am thankful for:
1) Hot Donuts, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream and Potbellies Ice Cream Sandwiches
2) A great family
3) Sweet critters (who are well behaved most of the time:-) By the way, I don't mean sweet=tasty!!!!
4) My health including the ability to run for distances I cannot even imagine
5) Many great friends
6) Lots of laughter (and reasons to laugh)
7) That I didn't get killed by lightening in the Vermont 100!
8) To live in a country where I am free and can participate in the political process
9) A roof over my head, food on my plate and everything I might need in life
Happy Thanksgiving!
