Mileage for today: 32 Starting point is the McDonald's on I-95 and Highway 251 in Darien. Stopping point is still on Route 303 in Waverly. Showering at the club. My leg doesn't seem to be getting much better, however it still doesn't hurt to run on. The swelling does make some concern for me. If things don't start to get better, I might have to have it re-examed in Jacksonville. Leaving the hotel today, I ran past what some might call a gentleman's club. One thing stood out about the strip joint, the advertised free showers for truckers. Anyone with any sense knows a lap dance just isn't a lap dance unless you've showered. I crossed over several bridges today and things are looking a lot like Florida. The farm lands have gone away and swamps seem to be more and more prevalent. Before getting off Route 17 (looks like it is only temporary) she coughed up license plate #18. The trees have started to get littered with palms and the leprosy harboring armadillos have disappeared. I'm not sure if its the leg or just mind games, but I ran flat again today. Had no pop what so ever. My pace wasn't too bad, in the mid to high 8's. For some reason it just felt like a drag. The only times it seems like I felt okay is when I'd pop some over the counter pain/anti-inflamority pills. I'm not one to take medicine, so this is unusual. However I thinking the leg needs all the help it can get. The other day I forgot to mention one of the cooler things I've passed. I went by America's Smallest Church. It is about 10' X 18' and seats 12 people. The sign for the church was almost bigger than the church itself and they had a slew of parking spots. |
