2000 Miles

After 2000 miles of driving I have arrived in Winchester, MA! I put in two huge days. I stopped along the way for a midday run on both big days which saved me and Zion from going insane. We stopped at KU and at a state park off the highway in Ohio where we could swim in Lake Erie. Luckily I was able to find a Barnes and Noble off the highway in Columbus and picked up the last Harry Potter book on CD. This sufficiently distracted me for the entire drive on Monday.

Red Rocks to Oakley, KS - 4 hours
Oakley, KS to the East side of Indianapolis - 16 hours
Indianapolis to Saratoga, NY - 16 hours
Saratoga, NY to Boston - 4 hours

As I sit here now my knees are sweating while sitting still - which is totally strange. I can't dry off! I grabbed a graham cracker from an open box and found it to be soggy from the humidity. So, I waited until it cooled off a bit and went for my first Winchester run, which was about 5 miles. Here's the route:

Tonight I'm going to hang out with my old friend Pick. I'm looking forward to a beer!
