Woohoo!! It's been 3 weeks of running, and we are past the halfway mark! In less than two weeks, Shan will have crossed all 169 towns, but for now, there are still 68 to go and 400+ miles left to cover. He’s feeling stronger despite the expected aches and pains, at least the Litchfield hills are behind us. We joked recently that his body is just now settling into the routine of running day after day after day. But we haven't had the "what's next" chat (yet).
Life’s been super busy and full: work, driving, running, meet-ups, food, and sleep when we can. Having a home base this time has been a game-changer. On our other big runs, we were constantly looking for lodging, food, laundry, and other services along the route - and doing everything human-powered. It’s also freeing without the bike and trailer this time around (even if it’s a little bittersweet).
Shan started the week at 660 miles, 101 towns, and almost $3000 in donations.
