The run I spoke of yesterday has finally come to an end in Alpena, landing me at the doorstep of a place I truly love to stay. Years as a repeat customer have led to a friendship with the owners; they are sweet and kind, and take exceptionally good care of me. I wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else, and structure my race plan around a visit here.
Other than a few brief naps here and there, I’ve been running since I left Standish at 2 am on Wednesday morning. I’m exhausted. But tonight I will clean my clothes in a bucket, sleep in a bed, and head out in the darkness to continue making my way north.
Is it really worth suffering all those hours, day and night out there? I can honestly tell you, it’s worth every moment of it
