As Jed said goodbye to his St. Louis friend, he switched to the Katy trail to run to Clinton, so more of his friends and family could run a little of the way with him. He had a rough schedule of 25-35 miles per day he wanted to run. Now the crappy thing is..... he is running alone, without support....and it is HOTTER THAN HADES outside this first week of June. Nearly impossible to carry enough water, and run the distance he wants to cover each day.
Of course I don't know about other people, but I get pretty sluggish in the heat. I guess Jed wanted to take a break for a short time because of that very fact, but the other factor here is that it has been a horribly wet spring, and the mosquitoes are out in Biblical proportions......
A post on Friday said ...'the good thing about swarms of mosquitos is that you get to where you are going faster....it's impossible to take a break......'
And then later.....
"When it's close to 10,000 degrees outside with a billion percent humidity, a piece of watermelon is as close to heaven as you can get on earth."
Oh bunny, hope you actually got to have a piece of that melon, and didn't just have to fantasize about it....
