WILLIAMS JUNCTION, Ark. — Arkansas Traveller 100-Mile Race director Chrissy Ferguson to an entrant at the Power Line aid station, 49 miles into the race: "If you can get up in the morning and look at yourself in the mirror and say, 'I'm not a pussy,' then go ahead and drop out. Otherwise, at least get up and make it to the next aid station."
Fueled by a pumpkin milkshake purchased at The Shack in Jessieville, I ran for 15 minutes out and then 14 minutes back to the finish line near Lake Sylvia on Arkansas 324 and guess I covered about three miles. I felt great.
I got sentimental when I walked in The Shack and saw an 8X11" orange placard on which someone had written with a black Magic Marker, "Pumpkin milkshakes are back." The shake was delicious. I wish I would've had a man to share it with.
"Pussy," I believe, will be "[wimp]" in Monday's newspaper.
