When you are in suffer mode and you say you won't quit.

Can you imagine running hundreds of miles per week.

I once did sixty miles in three days and called for a ride when I should have been sitting outside weathiering the elements and finding a place outside to sleep. 

I did sleep outside for the first three nights. 

I couldnt just walk onto peoples property but I also had to hide a little and stay off the road a little bit differently.

I did sleep in some hay that I pulled or weeds and covered myself with them and it was tottaly warm. The mind is a funny thing because my thinking changed. I started thinking differently about how things are. 

I don't know how to describe it but I felt like a person that made something outta of thier life. 

I walked and walked and walked and it just seems like another voice inside me told me how money worked and how to stay warm and think. 

I drank water out of streams and chewed on leaves if I got hungry. There were some pretty scary houses out deep in the Iowan landscape. I was scared sometimes. Their were shotgun shells laying around and living out in the great wide open surely delivers some interesting freedoms.

Well I walked sixty miles in three days and got close to Sioux Falls but instead called my dad and asked for a ride back home.
