July 5: So Much Progress Here (Utpal’s blog)
July 5, 2016 “It is hard.”
Baladev’s description of the race this morning is by far the simplest and most direct response you could possibly ask for. In their own way, each of the other runners would probably echo this same sentiment. Even the most astute observer of the race cannot really grasp the dimensions or the supreme challenge of it all. We can never know or understand just what he and the other runners are up against here on the course of the 3100 mile race. For even the most experienced distance runner at best can only come to some theoretical understanding of what it must be like running 18 hours a day for weeks on end.

July 4, 2016 If Stutisheel had for some reason decided not to run around Thomas Edison High School these past 15 days, and instead headed South west. He would have, as of this morning, nearly made it to Memphis. A distance of 890 miles.

July 3, 2016 Last night Shamita finished up 2 weeks of running here with another good day. She completed 62 miles and has now done 867 miles. This morning as we run together I joke and suggest that since she has run 1,000 miles before, this current distance is Old Hat for her. (an expression used to refer to something considered uninteresting, predictable, tritely familiar, or old-fashioned.) “Wowwww, I wouldn’t say this.” (laughs)
