Today, after 6 days of pounding the pavement (although she would protest that she places, not pounds), Megan is having a running Sabbath. A day of rest, except that they spent a good chunk of that day walking around the Aitkin County Fair. Highlights included the decorated Christmas tree competition (I don't even want to speculate on that one) and Miss County Aitkin singing to open the fair. Megan also contemplated taking advantage of the free diabetes test at one booth, but Isaac convinced her that she might upset the nice booth workers if she failed. They are all looking forward to the rodeo and fireworks tonight.
Megan is pleasantly surprised that she is not as sore as she thought she would be, given that she has gone 120 miles. She is very pleased with the trip at this point, happy to have Isaac to provide company on the long runs and appreciating the beautiful scenery and weather. And the swimming at one lake or another each day is also a big Minnesota bonus.
Another bonus--free camping! The woman who has owned Red Indian campground for 45 years gave Dave back his camping fee when she learned what Megan was doing!
