Aid stations
These little setups occur about every 6 miles. Each one feels like you've made good progress. The volunteers are marvellous, drinks are plentiful, but the food has become a little repetitive and uninspiring. Without refrigeration, I find the perishables by now pretty dubious, so to get the calories I need stick mainly to cookies, chocolate and cake. Not too balanced, and after this many days, it's really not as tempting as it might sound!

Two questions:
What's the one thing you never (or at least for some time) want to have again?
And what's the first thing you're going to eat when you're done/back in Austin?
A trip to Polov's upon your return! We'll order beer and margaritas and much queso. Damn, maybe we'll go before you return ;)
Thanks for inspiring us all Russ.
