This morning, at 1:42, I sat down to begin outlining chapter twelve of my new manuscript, Earning Freedom. This chapter will bring readers along on my journey from Lompoc Camp, to Taft Camp, and all the experiences I’ve had up to the present day, whenever I finish the chapter. I’m eager to conclude it because Carole and I have so much going on that I want to write.
By the time I concluded my work this afternoon, I’d written through page 540. That’s a productive day of longhand, as each page takes about one hour for me to write. I ought to finish a solid first draft by the end of next week.
I ran 10 miles this morning. Temperatures have cooled here at Taft Camp. A month ago when I walked to the track at 5:50 am, the sun was already over the mountains. On some early mornings, the temperature was more than 80 degrees. Now the early morning temperature is in the low 60s, and I’m halfway finished with my run before I have to put on sunglasses. My running tally is 2,417 miles over the past 272 days.
Tomorrow is a short run, as I’ll be waiting to kiss Carole.
