At the end of day 5 Richard has moved into 12th place in his division at a total of 220 miles which places him past Lewisburg. There remains 38 “screwed” runners. As mentioned before in a previous update, due to high heat temps, Westbrook is running at night to remain cooler.
Earlier this evening, the weather around Lewisburg and most of Tennessee looked pretty bad, in the red of a storm. Fortunately, now it appears to have lightened up and just consist of lighter rain all over. He will run from Lewisburg to Shelbyville, then Manchester, and on down to Georgia. If he is not drenched tonight, maybe he will run right out of the bad weather. Who knows, maybe all the rain will cool things off for everyone.
