D2D 20K Challenge Day 64: I went running last night with Cindy. She is my virtual training partner that lives in Virginia and she is staying here in Iowa for the next week to run D2D. It was a stormy night so we decided to run the Lake Red Rock trail. We did 8 miles which was three laps of the loop we were running. The rain was all around us but it held off just long enough to get the full 8 miles in. It was fun to run and talk about everything. We have been texting our run results to each other for the past 2 months and this virtual training has really pushed both of us to get the miles in. Once we got into the car and pulled out of the parking lot the rain hit and it rained all the way home so we timed this run just perfect.

7 days to go till D2D and it feels like I just started this journey yesterday. By this time next week I hope to be eating a banana and talking with other runners. What an incredible experience this has been. I am now down 32 pounds from 220 when I started to 188 now.  My energy levels have increased and my acid reflux has vanished. 

Life is good!
