seven and a half days are done.
the first place i look now is the back.
.
we have 6 vol staters who have fallen 4 miles behind oprah.
this is a problem for them.
they need 16 miles tonight to reach the hard cutoff of the 55/41 intersection in manchester.
.
these are hard times at race HQ.
we know they need more than that to put themselves in reach of finishing.
and we have come to really be pulling for them.
.
part of you wants to cut them a break.
but if it just puts them in a position where success is impossible,
it isnt really a break at all.
.
up here on the rock we are struggling ourselves.
it looks like 25 people will end up finishing today.
.
fortunately we were able to get a short sleep in before morning.
but on the whole we are getting less sleep than the runners!
.
there are two countdowns going on.
the runners are counting down how many miles they can do before time expires.
we are counting down how little sleep we can get before we expire!
.
it looks like a small window is coming up,
so i am cutting this short
so i can take advantage of it.
6 hours in the past 4 days is not enough to get me through 2 and a half more!
