Today we got to “sleep in” and I even woke up without an alarm at 6:15! Sleeping on the couch was so great and I was happy. Today was a 7-mile day and we made it to Glenwood Springs, CO. I dedicated today to gram and gramp. I ran with Mary, Sydney, and Dan today and the views were incredible. At one point I thought to myself wow I’m actually running across the country. Running through and next to the mountains is really cool. It was mostly down hill today which was nice and a few up hills. I can still feel the elevation, but I think it will get better soon. After our run, we stopped at a coffee shop and I was able to get some matcha and it was good :) I also used the internet to send some photos to my laptop for my blog! Then, we went on a hunt for food donations and eventually found a spot to donate chips, rice, and dip. We also were able to get Jimmy Johns sandwiches donated and they were very good. With the food, we drove to where the bikers were eating lunch to join them and share our chips and dip. Our drive to the lunch spot was beautiful and crazy driving through the canyon. Every turn was another wow. At the lunch spot, I went in the Colorado river a bit and that was really cool. After that, we went into Glenwood Springs and got some frozen yogurt and then headed to the host. Everyone wanted to different things, but I was just happy to be back and relax. The house we are staying in is beautiful and our host is so kind. Since everyone had something to do, the host let me shower at the house so I had a wonderful shower (which I needed after going to my belly button in the Colorado river). Everyone else later went to a high school to get some showers in. There is a hot tub at the host so some people went in that and I put my legs in so my shins could relax and feel the jets. It was great. Now I’m writing this blog in the outdoor “living room” while people are watching tv outside! A teammate is making us pasta dinner and I am very excited to eat! I claimed a couch again for tonight so I am excited to sleep again. Hopefully I’ll be able to get to sleep tonight and it won’t be too loud being near the door!
