George Scholl - Day 2

Hi everyone. Today is day 2 of the relay. Well today was great. The weather was incredible. About 40-50 and NO RAIN. In the afternoon, we even got sun shine. We are done with our runs today. I had 2 runs, 5-6 for a total of 11 miles. I was in the first group, so my run was at 7:30 am and it was a bit cold, but nice. My second run was great. I wore only 2 shirts! The other team (DMSE from Boston) did their run through New York City. We didn't get to run into there. :-(

The terrain was gorgeous and the hills were long and steep. My first run was 3 miles up a hill (ouch). Other than the hills, the runs were great. We get massages by the best certified therapist there is after each run (Lily). It really helps, as she is great. We are done for the day and we are off to Newark for the night. Oh by the way, I was the designated driver of the POL 34 ft motor home today. Now, that was fun. How cool is this, running through the country side and driving a huge motorhome.

We met a couple of people on the way, and they are always amazed at what we are doing. They all say they could never do that and that it must be really hard to do. The truth is, this is the best thing I have ever done. Keep reading my blogs and see if my attitude changes after the next couple of days. I have a feeling it will be the same.

Talk to you all tomorrow, and sorry I missed the blog yesterday, it was a bit crazy.

George

Great speaking with you yesterday and glad to hear the City of Brotherly love in in your sights for today. Be safe out there and try to cross the Deleware on a bridge rather than how George W. crossed it. (the real GW!).
Cheers,
Ian
