DAY 18, MILE 1

Day 18 running across America, 70 miles per day. Yes, I'll keep saying it even though we're missing it. It gives us that stretch target that we need to try to hit.

I'm taping my blisters, which we have surprisingly only had two so far. The first blister showed up on day 14 and the second one was a nice, big old blister yesterday, but those are the little nagging things.

We've had some pretty heavy rainstorms up here in the mountain today so I was my telling my sister and Jason that I'm going to have to pull on my 20-year-old heartstrings of cross-country running because I have a feeling it's gonna be a bit muddy this morning. It should be interesting because we are on straight-up trails in the dark today, so I'm not sure when we're gonna get to the road. We don't really know what it looks like. We've done some research and hopefully it's not as ugly as the trails as we've seen in the past, so we are crossing our fingers. But, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter because we still have to get from point A to point B, so it's just a matter of time.
