Day 3,597 —A nice Way to Start the Day—

       I was thinking of planning a route for the whole run but instead, I decided to take one turn at a time. I ended up in Maplewood next took Wydown, which is always lovely, to Clayton. Initially, I was planning to turn around and go back down Wydown but instead I went into Clayton, and then the loop

It was a nice day, and I was moving, not thinking about anything, and listening to music. It kind of reminded me of the last ten miles of the Barryman 50, which I did while singing the wrong words to my favorite songs. Normally I wouldn’t be so bold, but that and crying spontaneously seems to be my MO when I am close to the end of the race.

I treated myself to a peanut butter protein smoothie around mile 18 and stopped at the grocery store at mile 23 to get something to drink.
