George Scholl - Day 7

Hi everyone. Today is day seven and four days to go. The runs are getting easier (believe it or not). We ran today on flat roads in 80 degree cloudy weather. I ran 3 legs of 5 miles, 3 miles and 3 miles. On my first run, we had 3 dogs chase us (all at the same time). One dog was very aggressive and almost got hit by a car. Fortunately a car's horn scared the dog away and we were able to get out of the area rather quickly. All at a good pace for me (around 10 min. miles). My calves were a bit sore, but got better on the 3 mile runs. I ran my first run with our resident Doctor and she was a bit slow for me. She only ran 2 miles, but it was good for her to get out of the RV. She's in there most of the days, working all day long. Don't know how she does it, but she seems to love her job. She's a Chiropractor but does deep tissue massages. I think the difference is, she hurts us instead of rubbing us. Although, on me, she does an incredible job with my calves. So far, I only have soreness in my calves and nowhere else. My main concern, before I started this relay was my right foot. And amazingly, the soreness that I have been having the past couple of months in my foot is gone. I believe the soreness in my calves will go away in a couple of days. Tomorrow, we will be in Georgia, Thursday and Friday in Florida, and home on Saturday. It's now going way to fast. Everyone on our team are exceptional runners and people. We will all miss each other when this is over. We get up everyday at 5 am and leave the hotel at 6 am.
