I think she'll run a somewhat normal day tomorrow, possibly resting early. Then get up extra early on Saturday and try to finish up as late as they can get a "steps event" permit at City Hall. I suspect the timing of the permit may impact when they start.

She'll get an extra hour overnight if she finishes on Sunday...

Given Sandy has 135 miles to go -- i.e., the "Badwater distance" -- she decided it would be a nice way to cap off her transcon to have a long night of sleep last night and run the final 135 in basically one big push, which started at 8am this morning. She has a large crew with her now (6-7 people), and she's in great spirits.

It's hard to believe this unbelievable endeavor is quickly coming to a close. What an amazing ride it has been!

The 135 miles to go is the estimate I had for her last night, based on Pete's route plotted on plotaroute .com. 133 straight down the road miles but add 2 miles to account for reality--photo ops, road crossing, any mini stops. I expect Sandy will be joined by a large number of people after she gets into NYC.

Yeah, about 8.5 million of them :)

Celebrity ... I think she will handle it well.

Miles run as of 8am Friday Nov 3rd, 52 days 23 hours, 0 mins (Strava) = 2986.0 miles

Google Maps has point A (979 Sandy Valley Rd, White Haven, PA 18661) to point B (Fort Lee) - 115 miles (crossing from Riverton, PA to Belvidere, NJ instead of Portland, PA to Columbia, NJ, like Pete K's route)

+

13 miles from Fort Lee to NY City Hall

= 128 miles

+ Sandy's watch measuring more accurately than Pete K's Garmin + Sandy stopping to hug all her fans + stopping a couple times for 30 min breaks

= 135 miles

2986.0 + 135 = 3121 miles

This is how you turn 3067 miles in which Pete K extended to have lunch at his house in Lincoln and run through his hometown of Boone, IA and Iowa State, Ames, IA into a 3121 mile run.

Here's to a 54:X:X Go Sandy Go!

Math is hard, over and out.

That's awesome!

Does the team have an appointment at City Hall?

Yup, the 135 miles to go is the number to go with. The split times will now count down from 135 miles to go rather than show the miles run. Splits will be 135, 130, 125, ... 0!

Oh snap, so this is it. Go Sandy! Home stretch, baby! (rings cowbell wildly)

Sandy- you are amazing! Great job on an epic run!

Wooohoo!! Go, Sandy, Go!! This is exciting. I've enjoyed the continuing discussion as well, thanks for keeping it lively, guys.

Not sure that this is a wise idea to do a 135 mile push at the end.

This is not the remote Death Valley, this is busy East Coast traffic on narrow roads.
