After breakfast, I left with Lawrence and Jamie on their way to get flu vaccinations. They dropped me off at Lawrence's uncle's car wash which I had passed on the way to the foreclosed house yesterday. I quickly found myself lucky to be running without the cart as the first few miles proved to have quite a bit of traffic with no shoulder at all.
I eventually got to run a few miles on a less busy cutoff road through state game land before getting onto the super busy Highway 611. Running with the cart through this would've been a nightmare as dodging the traffic to the strip malls and big box stores would have been pretty tough. After going through the busy outskirts I arrived to the bustling small-town downtown and crossed I-80 and waited at a Sunoco gas station for Jamie and Lawrence. They got me a Poconos Mountains t-shirt in Stroudsburg while they waited for me to finish.
They drove me back a different way than what I'd run and we got home just in time to watch Oregon State get whooped by Stanford. After this disappointment we drove up to Penn's Peak for dinner with Lawrence's parents and sister. It was just dark enough to not get a full appreciation of the view, but it was a very cool restaurant and concert hall with lots of memorabilia from the pretty big names that have played there. We got home and I crashed on their couch, falling asleep during what ended up being an exciting Penn State game.

Didn't see this until Day 122, but it was close to my end point today
