Day four started out incredibly well, with our new friend Jairo from Maryland running with Joe. Jairo watched our van trailing Joe in a remote part of the state (incidentally near the start of the JFK 50 miler course) and knew that since only dedicated runners have the stamina to run the terrain near his home, we must be up to something big. Jairo tracked us down and made plans to join Joe for the fist 20 miles of his Day 4 run.
Having a partner in this this frigid weather was so helpful for Joe. Jairo's been running since his teens and, as a Michigan native, is clearly acclimated to cold-weather running. Running with a partner kept Joe from thinking too hard about the parts of his body that were begging him to stop. So this video's for you Jairo, thank you so much for helping us along our journey!
