Woke up at 0500 and went for a short run. I considered a full ten miler, but I was tired and quite trashed out from the day before. As such, I busted out my new Kayanos (the 14 model) I got for free for picking up Craig Virgin during the Trials. They helped a bit, as I felt OK during this short AM run.

Ran down 32nd street and back. Very boring. The only excitement was dodging the many sprinklers along the way.

Returned, stretched a bit, showered, and hit the road. I looked for the Residence Inn in town but didn't see it so I settled for a Holiday Inn Express. It sucked. Oh well. So much for a final good breakfast for the trip.

Stopped twice en route to Eveleth. I arrived at 2045. Not a bad trip. Overall the 1900 miles went by pretty damn fast, helped in large part to the Gatorade bottle I packed that I used as a urinal at least a dozen times over the past 2.5 days. I bet it saved me two hours in stops...or in the very least, a lot of discomfort, as I was pounding coke zeros to stay awake.
