The fine line for go or no go usually falls on Day 21. By this time, the intrepid runner has determined that he or she is all in on the 3100 goal, whether or not they finish. If not, the thought or decision to pull out of the race is devastating. Four and a half weeks still remain. Can your body, heart, determination and fortitude stay intact for the whole way, even though we are all under the impression that it is ‘one day at a time’!! It is a real revelation to see the runners move through each day with new purpose, new hope, and new inspiration. Otherwise, why bother.
Ashprihanal Aalto had purpose today, enough to continue his Day leader streak with nearly 67 miles. He was one lap better than the super consistent Nirbhasa Magee, who will not back down from his goal to be the best he can be. Vasu Duzhiy may be feeling the effects of running this event for eight straight years, but he still gives it a go when the sun goes down. And not least by any means, Harita Davies is over 11 miles ahead of her finishing pace from 2017, and looks in great form. She has a 21-day streak of over 60+ miles reached, which has become a strong pillow of laps to lean on as the days go by. By all means, dear runners, carry on!!
