Day 17
June 27, 1978
Miles run – 41.7
Weather – 90s
Comments: “I’ll tell you what a typical day is like – wake at 5:30am, have tea with honey, donut or toast, stretch, vaseline, Ben Gay, etc., etc. Out on road by 6:30am, run 10-miles, rest 15-20 minutes, run 10 more miles, rest 15-20 minutes, and run other 5-10 miles all before lunch. For lunch, pint of ice cream!! Out on road at 2pm. Run 5 miles, rest a bit, run another 5 miles, rest a bit then walk an extra 2-miles (to put extra miles in the bank) with my cassette player recording everything that happened that day. Then find a place to stay for the night, eat (spaghetti, etc.) take all my pills (supplements), write postcards and in bed at 10pm.”
