Day 22, March 7
Miles today: 41
Miles Run so far: 842
Miles to go: 1561
Adam spent the dark hours of the morning going up the mountain pass and when daylight hit he started his descent. Downhill is usually the best part of a climb, but not at this point in the journey. With Adam’s shin pain, the toe extensions while going downhill increased the pain with every step. The man is a mental beast and pushed through it all completing 41 miles today. The last bit of the day left Adam on a high as he traveled on level ground passing by the sand dunes of White Sands National Monument. 842 miles down, 1561 to go.
