Comments: “HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! Heading for the desert! Will stay in Reno tonight and tomorrow night. I have run 330 miles in 8 days and feel super. Hope nothing goes wrong in the desert. Headed to the casinos tonight but unfortunately, I won’t be able to wine and dine! I have to wake up at 6:00am and run another 40+ miles tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next day….!”
