Running through America to empower people to find and follow their passions
Is THAT the ocean?!?!? December 26 - Day 274, 18.0 miles, Ramona, CA
Am I supposed to be freakin' out right now? Should 33.2 more miles to go be making me cry? Should I be waking up these last few mornings with a sense of accomplishment and pride? Should I be tearing up during my last days? With my run about to end on Tuesday, I have all these thoughts like this - what is this SUPPOSED to be like? Then...I stop in my thoughts and tell myself, "this is not SUPPOSED to be anything...it will JUST BE what it is."
My run is against all the "supposed to-s." My run is for all the "I want to-s." I want to finish. I want to run into the ocean, and I will. We will see what that does. We will see how that feels. We will see with an open heart and open mind what finishing will bring!
Today was up and down all the mountains of CA!!! WHO KNEW there were mountains here!!?!??! They never end:-) Around most every turn at each vista point, Jenny and I would ask ourselves, "is THAT the Pacific off in the distance!??!" Nope. Maybe tomorrow we will catch a glimpse!
Onward!!
Love,
kt

Enjoy your last steps on this historic run; enjoy the bliss; enjoy the tears, you deserve it. You sure are paving the way for many self sufficient and self confident humans. Even though I'm far away in NW Montana, my heart is with you
Peace,
Steve in Bigfork, MT
