Stage 2: Random Thoughts from Katie

There is such a thing as too much togetherness!

Thank you, NYC friends & family for all the love, but I'm not feeling the love from my biological family - what the f!!?!?

I made it though Day 2. It was more difficult than Day 1 and tomorrow we have the 50 mile stage. My foot feels good but I have blisters on both my big toes in the same spot....very weird since I've never gotten blisters in this spot!!? My traps are sore from the pack, so tomorrow will be very interesting to see how the body responds to putting the stupid thing on.

The desert is truly amazing. Heaz and Keri, every time I run through the desert sage and smell its sweet smell I think of the two of you. Karen, Anne and Ann - I loved your little notes and can't wait to read my next little message from the girlies tomorrow.

After 2 days of running the 'Ironman Shuffle' has a totally new meaning. This may sound odd, but i really think MMM has had something to do with the rain and crazy desert weather. No more room to type...

Ciao for now.

Great job...Day 2 in the books. Blisters! Blisters! that's it, suck it up! Once those puppies callus up by day 4 you'll be in great shape.

Good luck with the big 50 miler today, by the time you read this you'll likely want to kill me for the above commentary. Rest well and get ready for the day after the big 50...hydrate recover and keep going. Totally cool seeing this through your eyes!
