Day 22 May 28, 2011 Rogersville to Just outside Miramichi NB 30km
28 May
Way too late going to sleep = oversleeping and getting up late.
We woke up in the parking lot at 7am, much later than planned. The good news though is that it was good excuse to do laundry before leaving Miramichi, as I had about one day worth of running kit left. While waiting for our laundry Mike noticed a black Dodge Charger SRT8 sitting in the parking lot of the Laundromat. It looked a lot like the black Dodge Charger SRT8 that was in the parking lot of Sobeys when we had gotten up that morning. So Mike wandered over towards the car but it drove off as he got close. Very weird. So we’ve been looking out for black Dodge Chargers all day.
After laundry we began heading back toward Rogersville, but first we stopped for gas and to dump our septic tank and fill up with water. This RV is not exactly environmentally friendly. We filled up for gas less than 36 hrs ago and already had used up just over half a tank!
We finally made it to my starting point, and after a quick lunch it was already around 1pm. So I wasn’t going to be able to fit in another 60km today. I ran 20km and my left hamstring was tight and a bit sore, definitely worse than yesterday. I had downloaded new episodes of the Ricky Gervais show which helped ease the fact that my leg hurt and my pace was slow.
I took too long of a break after my first run, thanks to a long nap, and didn’t start running again until about 6:30pm. At this rate I was going to end up running until 8:30-9pm, which would mean that I wouldn’t get to sleep again until too late. Adding to the fact that my hamstring was sore I only ran 10km, with a view to giving my hamstring a break and trying to get into a better sleep schedule.
Mike made one of his favourite meals, chicken stirfry and thanks to filling up with water I was able to have a shower for the first time in a few days, and this time the water was hot!!!
I got to be early with the hopes that I would be able to get up early tomorrow. To help that process I set my alarm for 5:15, 5:25, 5:30, 5:31, 5:32, 5:33 and 5:34. Sarah would not be impressed.
Hopefully though it will work!
