The day didn't work out quite as I'd hoped. I don't know if it was nerves or just the worst possible time to get a stomach bug, but I was feeling nauseous right from the start of the run. Due to nausea I wasn't able to take in as many calories throughout my run.
Started by running 8 miles, then had to walk and run to mile 16 due to nausea. Then took a break to try to eat basic toast and crackers and went back out for a few miles. In total, I ran and walked 21 miles. Thankfully my beautiful family swooped in to save the day. My son ran 4 miles, my daughter biked 3 miles, and my wife walked 3 miles, totaling 31 miles as a family.
While, it certainly didn't work out the way I wished, I'm proud of what I was able to accomplish and proud of my family for being the support that I needed.
Love you all and thanks for following this journey.
