20 easy

Ran from washington arboretum to seward park - 20 miles! My plantar fascia started to hurt pretty bad at about mile 16, but I pushed through and rice'd asap. It's feeling good now.

3.5 barefoot

Ran 3.5 miles today - barefoot at Marymoor. It felt great and I only saw one broken glass bottle in the grass. :)

8.86

Ran another 5.76 miles today - same route down to Farrel McWhirter. T'was great and I felt light. Also ran in the alumni race in the morning. 3.1 miles at hartman park.

5.76

Ran 5.76 miles today down to Farrel McWhirter and back. Overall I felt fast - no notable pains. Stretched half-way in and then again when I got home.

Day 21 - Off to Cali

Hey Em,

So I decided to do today's post a bit early because I'm not sure if I'm going to have internet access tonight. We're hoping to camp out on a river right on the California/Oregon border. Hopefully when I get to Colin's place he will have internet and I can continue posting. Otherwise I might have to go into town (wherever the closest one is) and find an internet cafe just like you have been doing.

I hope that you have an absolutely wonderful time on the safari. You're so close to being home and I'm oh so proud of all you've accomplished on the trip so far. I would love to travel to Kenya with you someday and see all of the places that you have been! I'm so excited for everything to come!

Also, you're now registered for the seattle half marathon...we both have to start training.

Alright, I'm off now...I love you sooooooooooooooooo much!!!!

Day 20 - Getting Excited

Hey Em,

I hope that you are doing well...I'm sure that you are. Today I just taught ESL in the afternoon (one of my students brought me some banana bread as a present) and then celebrated Mike's b-day in the evening. It was pretty fun. I'm really looking forward to being in California though because it means that I'm even closer to being able to see you again. We are going to have sooo much fun when you return home!!!

I'm excited for so many things:

- Tully's (or Victor's)

- Tennis Balls

- Riding our bikes

- Church

- Soccer with Tay and Katie

- Phó

- Camping

...and many many more things. I just can't wait to see you!!

I love you so much and next time we talk you'll be in Atlanta! Love you!

Day 19 -Our last phone chat

The wild ginger - check him out. It was nice to talk to you on the phone tonight. Now I'm even more excited for you to get home...I didn't think that it was possible! Can't wait to see you, babe...Love you!
