Running in circles
As stated previously, I'm stranded in Flagstaff without a support vehicle or an RV -- essentials for this run.
I'm going through my contacts, working with media, basically doing everything to get the word out so I can get this run up and going the way I had intended it to. That said, I still need to run right now. So...I'll be running around Flagstaff (GPS on, of course) for the next few days to accrue miles and stay on a schedule. That will keep me in the physical condition to continue on when I start moving again, but also...it's therapy. It eases my mind, and I need a lot of mind easing currently, ya' know?
I'd still like to hike out of here Friday and camp out when I need sleep if nothing promising has materialized on the support front, but we'll see. Thus far, I'm the only one in full support of that plan. My family and friends, not so much. I'm trying to minimize emotional stress for all parties involved...
I'll keep you folks posted. Off to do some interviews, and hopefully come away with some positive results.

Good luck darlin -- I am pulling for you in every way imaginable and will do some checking with contacts/friends in the local running club. Maybe SOMEBODY here at home will have some further insight!

Hopefully you'll find more people for your support team, if there's a way I can help let me know, I'm in arizona for TAZER work from 9/7 - 9/15. Praying for you, buddy. . .
