The wind really messed up the morning plans. No Table Mountain for me. But when you go on adventures, you have to be agile – go with the flow. So, breakfast with the Escape to Boston friends was the move. Adomo & Amanda are such lovely humans. Hailing from Montreal, Quebec – these two greeted me like life long friends. That’s what running 4 days from Toronto to Boston does to you. Shared running experiences bring you closer together in a short period of time, that bond lasts. And this escape will be no different.
We caught up, added some friends from Chicago, NYC, Toronto and Amsterdam and had a wonderful morning of chatting and friendship. We made our way to a few stores – it doesn’t hurt that the dollar is STRONG here. Everything is “cheap.” Naturally, I copped a new hat from SelfLife and had lunch at Clarkes, went to the grocery, picked up snacks and headed back to the hotel to get our gear and pack for the epic adventure to come. What a lovely Wednesday.
Not the first full day I wanted, but the first day that was needed.
Now, to why we are here –
The Full Distance team has been running for 3 days and 3 nights. Roughly 400 miles, and that’s where WE come in … the Home Stretch Crew. 30 runners from around the globe, descending on South Africa to bring the Full Distance crew to the finish line with vibes, styles and miles.
It’s a team effort out here and everyone will have a role to play.
I can’t wait to see my friends and tell them how proud I am of the work they have put in – Escape is hard – but if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
