Day 11, and oh what a day! The snow came in this morning with great gusto. Swirls of wind and snow from the Great Lakes circled the roads as we drove to our starting spot. Joe braved the storm, clocking in 22 miles for the day. We're actually slightly ahead of schedule, so this really isn't a huge set back. His greatest obstacles today, were his shoes that were wet and cold. At one point he switched to cold weather hiking boots, but they weren't flexible enough to run in. We discussed ways to keep his shoes dry, but in the end he just went for it!

ReplyDeleteI don't know if these are worth the investment or if there's enough time for them to get there but these are like light, waterproof, high-top trail runners.
REI is a popular outdoor store everywhere but AL and they ship stuff super fast especially for something like this (they do it with long distance hikers a lot)!
Joe, your perseverance is amazing, and I admire your dedication to advocacy!
Keep Running!
T.C.
Keep up the good work!
