Start of the Rain

 
Hi, I'm runner 5.  I'm one of many Runners across the world and many other Runner 5's - I wanted to be Runner 7 - 7 is my lucky number.  7Hunters.  But I'm not, I'm Runner 5.  I run for Fort Stevens the world war II fortress that, being fenced in and already fortified came to house the nearby residents of Warrenton and Hammond and a few from Astoria Oregon - USA.

I ran today to Astoria for supplies.  It's the first true day of the rainy season in my opinion - see I live in the rain forest beside the ocean.  Not too many zombs out here but they keep filtering in from Portland and RV resorts - the RV resorts are the worst.

I had breakfast under the Megler bridge this morning.  I had a biscuit and a hot Coke.  I took a walk a little ways down the river front.  It gets slick though - the wood - so it's not safe if you get chased by zombs or they come from both direction pinning you in - nothing to do but jump into the Columbia then and hope the tide is high but odds are you'll just plummet onto some rocks.

This time last year I ran a 5K from Mariners park under the bridge to a point and back in my barefoot shoes and thought that was pretty good fun, and now I have to run from the Fort to Astoria -- sure I walk some.  You want to conserve your strength for when you really have to run.

I'm still sick and raiding med supplies from Walgreens in Warrenton was fruitless - they are out of almost everything, but I did find a few things that should help me limp along.  I have told no one at the fort I'm ill or they wouldn't want me to run or trust missions to me.

I found an iPhone on this run - couldn't believe my luck.  Now to charge it up and see if it works - the apps and other features on it of course, the cell towers are dead. 

Until tomorrow - keep the faith.  Keep kicking ass.
