Today was an interesting one. Thinking that we should get rid of some of the grime from our week on the road, we stopped at a laundromat. While waiting for the washer to finish its cycle, I called home. My mom reminded us not to put our microfiber running shirts in the dryer since the dryer would probably be quite hot and ruin them. We put the rest of our clothes in the dryer and waited for them to finish. Imagine our surprise when we pulled out our Ironman socks. The socks had shrunk to little boy sized socks! Luckily, we have some regular cotton socks with us, and we will use them until we get more running socks.

As we left the laundromat, we met a news crew from NBC25. They had been next door doing a followup on a fire that happened on Monday. The reporter interviewed us and told us the interview would be on today. Of course, we didn't have a TV to watch it on.

Walking--instead of running--is still necessary as my leg heals. To walk up the Appalachian Mountains took us about an hour today. Coming down the mountain with the stroller is difficult.

We walked 26.5 miles before stopping to camp in Harrisville, PA. The homeowner and her aunt provided pizza and a shower for us to use. We are quite tired and appreciated her kindness.
