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.
