Today was so much harder than yesterday. We barely crawled along the 20.8 mile path today. We skipped the first pit stop hoping to finish earlier today.
It came up on lunch time and the 10 mile mark and we were both feeling really bad. We were thinking about taking the bus back to camp. Usually if I am feeling bad, Jen is feeling good and we bring eachother up. Both we were both on the low at the same time and we knew that was bad.
We needed inspiration so Jen called her mom and husband and I sent a text to my bestfriend looking for words of encouragement.
We sat down for lunch in a restaurant and contemplated taking the bus. Then we left the restaurant and went to the medical tent to bandage up our feet. The tent was on waterfront property of Lake Washington and it was absolutely gorgeous.
We decided to try to go a little further. Then we walked through the town of Kirkland. It was absolutely gorgeous. It felt like we were in Pleasantville. The town is waterfront and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. People were walking their dogs and floating in the lake on rafts. It was amazing. I think this part of the walk inspired us to finish. We were too busy looking at the scenery to know how bad we felt.
We crawled along the path slowly but surely. We were the last to come in from our team today, but we finished.
One more day and 18 more miles to go tomorrow...
