Prison Journal: Day 8,048

On August 22, 2009, in Prison Journal, by Michael Santos

My visit yesterday with my sister, her children, and Carole, exhausted me, I guess. I slept until the unpardonable hour of 2:30 this morning. I could have slept longer, but I was too eager to hop down from my rack and resume writing chapter nine of Earning Freedom. I had a productive writing session, advancing to page 381 of the manuscript.

Early in the morning, I took my break for exercise. I ran 10 miles, bringing my tally to 2,241 miles over the past 253 days. Some of my fellow prisoners here at Taft Camp asked me how long I intend to continue running before I would take a day of rest. I want to run for 1,000 straight days, and unless prison regulations or release stops me, I intend to reach that goal. If I complete 1,000 straight days of running, by then I will be much closer to home. I’ve already completed more than 25 percent of the journey.
