Man.
I had so much to write today, but now I’m running out of time. I have to be up at 4am tomorrow to head to the hinterlands for the Breast Cancer 3-Day. So I’ll do the quick notes!- My day began with an emergency trip to the doctor for an x-ray. I realized with a sinking feeling the other day that my foot that began hurting after I walked 20 miles was hurting in exactly the spot I broke it years ago. However! The x-ray revealed it was not a stress fracture, which would mean don’t walk. It’s either a bone spur or tendonitis, both of which hurt, but I can take hurt. If you think you’re going to walk 60 miles comfortably, you’re… dumb.
- I was not expecting to reach my $2000 fundraising goal, but it happened today. I’m so blown away. Thank you so much to everyone who donated. That’s a hell of a lot of money, and all I contributed was my entrance fees. Please go look at the little scrolly list with everyone’s dedications! And I know it doesn’t say $2000 yet, but that’s just lag. I’m there. That makes me so happy.
- I went to check-in and orientation today, and finally got a look at the whole route. Tomorrow involves the western suburbs, and lots of places I haven’t been. Saturday is a tour of southwest Minneapolis. We visit the chain of lakes, and I’ll pass within a mile of my house. Sunday is a straight shot from Bloomington to the state capitol grounds in St. Paul. We’ll be wrapping up with closing ceremonies at 4:30pm. Be there! Or something. I’ll be the one with the orange pigtails. Easy to find.
- I should sell my protein bars. I’m like Julia Child for diabetic vegetarian athletes. That’s a huge untapped market.
