Day 53

August 2, 1978
Miles run – 52.0

Comments: “Cloudy today but the haziness gave me a headache. Tough to run 52 miles with a headache! Only about 100 miles from Chicago. Really moving now. However, if I was Tom McGrath (another xc runner who ran fewer total miles), I’d be done today! I try not to think about that! Thanks for all the cards and letters, they really inspire me!”
