Through rain, sleet or snow the show must go on. Okay we didn’t have sleet or snow or rain for that matter but there was a downpour around 5am that made for an interesting terrain. Today wasn’t a run, it was more of a trek through the muddy and wet surfaces along the trail. Of the three days of running, this was my favorite as a run as we had good weather for the majority of the way and also being mentally locked in to just move forward to our destination. Leading up to this, I always thought day three would be the most challenging as the first two would be the honeymoon phase with day three making things more real. Plus having that idea of being halfway done plays on the psyche.
The soreness I felt yesterday continued for the majority of the run but it is just my body checking in and saying ‘buddy what the hell are you doing to me?’ Lol. There was love I had to show myself to get the body to act right haha. Just like the previous two days, we plowed forward. I had to do a lot of self talk and affirmations along the run to ensure that I could continue.
Unlike the previous days, we didn’t see anyone on the trail for almost the first 12 kilometers. But as we got close to the cities of Carcacassone and Trebes we saw more folk along the path.
Shout out to Fred our hotel manager who was willing to come pick us up along the road to get us to the hotel 🙏🏾. The afternoon consisted of some pool time with a little relaxation and some washing of clothes. Full disclosure: I have ran in the same thing the first three days 😂But I was washed. Day four I will transition into something new (I promise).
Three down with three more to go. 🇫🇷🏃🏽🙏🏾
