J.J. Pedersen let’s go see the world
Another 38km bites the dust! Today was mostly about conquering the pain and showing the dunes who was boss.
While sorting out blisters at checkpoints, I discovered a whole new range of pain-related noises I am capable of making. (I totally should’ve done a “$10 for every blister developed” option for World Vision fund raising.)
But did you know? There’s a strange sense of peace that settles in once you transcend the pain. Thank you EVERYONE for the beautiful emails – they made me laugh and cry (again) and are all in all a fantabulous booster. Whenever the pain gets a bit much, I visualise each of you standing at the finishing line for me. It’s almost as if we’re doing this race together.
Ok, I know this is short but tomorrow’s looooong. 94km over-nighter and there are rumours they wanted to make it longer?! So more sleep equals a happy Jane. Toodles!
P.S. Just learned that first day was 48 degrees Celsius. Huh. No wonder it seemed a bit rough.
