the start lead us through central washington university and then back on to the JWPT. 10 more miles along the trail with great views of the kittitas valley and the stuart range. we were even treated to a view of mt rainier.
the sun came out and it really warmed up, maybe in to the upper 60's which is the warmest its been since we started. Marty helped again today, but i didnt need to much, 2 water bottles, a PBJ and 1/2 a cookie. the road section started about mile 10 and the hill started about mile 19. to be more correct the downhill started around mile 19. with the combination of sun, wind at your back and a nice 11 mile down hill section should spell a FAST finish. but my ankle was acting up, it started a few days ago and has been off and on since then. early today it was nice and stable, a little painful but stable. during the down hill section it really started to act up and began to hurt more and more. the last 2 miles were pretty rough with the combo of down hill and gusting winds. During the last section i thought a lot about the start last week and all the weather we have run through, the scenery, the bear encounter, and running over the snoqualamie pass. its been a busy week and quite an experience. I hope my ankle turns around and then next few days go by with everyone healthy and happy.
