Bekkie & Joe - Day 5

Virginia: Joe & I started the day with a 10 miler that he declared to be the “best day so far.” Got a nice early start, and began our 5M rotation for the rest of the crew. Joe ended up eating both breakfast and lunch before 8:30 AM. I was free for a while, so I staffed the “support van” for George as we passed through Dinwiddie. As George was in need of a “rest stop” I asked a local gentleman who was sitting on his front porch if it would be possible to use his facilities. His name was Gary Nanny, and he had been the victim of an ATV accident a few years back which had put him in a coma for six weeks, and left him with 2 scars, one from the “trach” and one from the feeding tube. We had a great conversation while I was waiting for George, and both Gary and his next door neighbor wished us a “Blessed Day” – and I realized it was Sunday already. The whole team was feeling really pumped at the end of the day and decided to finish off with 1 mile each.
