Day 3

Greetings ya'll from Claxton, GA! We began the day with our friends that put us up last night. Scott's friend Sarah made us a fantastic breakfast caserole that we ate very willingly. Scott, Sarah, and Trieste gave us a ride to where we left off in Lanier, GA. Scott ran with us for a little bit, and we let him push the jogger for the duration of his guest appearance. Yes, Scott was the first celebrity guest on the Nation Run. After he left us, the 4 of us drilled through the first 15 miles of our day in about 2 hours. All of our physical fitness is pretty much starting to catch up with one another. We stopped for lunch at a little watering hole with the food we had left over from robbing the continental breakfast yesterday. We continued on down the road for another 6 or 7 miles to Claxton, GA. As we sat in the shade thinking of a place to eat and sleep for the night, a man came up to us and asked us if we were "the guys on the news this morning." We responded yes, and he was super excited to meet us. The past 2 days have been filled with little stories of people recognzing us from the news and wishing us goodluck. Beeps from passing cars, everything has given us that extra boost of confidence that we need to keep going. I was looking at the weather today (which by the way was 77 and sunny!) and it showed a map of Georgia. I located Claxton on the map, and I was taken aback by the distance we've covered on that map. I am so excited to get out there each day and get closer and closer to our dream. Tomorrow, we could be crossing the 100 mile mark, which gives me the chills to think that the Nation is here and is is happening the way we always wanted it to. Thank you to all of our friends and family for checking up on us. We do this for you. We miss all of you so much out here on the road. We're in a hotel for the night to watch the superbowl and we'll be getting a super early start tomorrow morning, around 6-7am. Have a great night...GO PATS!!!
