“On this day in 1978, Mavis Hutchinson arrived in New York, the terminal point of her transcontinental run. The 53-year-old was the first woman to run across America, averaging 45 miles a day, and covering 3,000 miles in 69 days.

You go girl! How many pairs of running shoes do you think she went through?”

“Makes my knees hurt to think about it.”

“I'd guess at least 6. That is a truly impressive feat.”

“Your telling me! I would get about 5 miles out and my knees would bust open, spewing gravy all over the road.”

“Your knees have gravy in them?”

“That is what I call all of the bad stuff that I have seen come out of it, the left one.”

“inspiring!
53 aint at all that bad!! really....

“Just don't put it on mashed potatoes, ok?”

“No? Think that might give it a more interesting flavor?”

“I volunteer with a woman named Teddi Boston. In 1976 she was the first woman to solo hike the Pacific Crest Trail from Canada to Mexico. Very humble and a pleasure to talk to. She backpacks every weekend in the summer. She has some interesting stories.”

“Bury my Knee in Wounded Gravy?”

“When I turn 35 I want to hike the PCT.


I shure hope I can make it.

“My son called it "knee gunk" when he had his tapped.”

“Thank you tar, I try very hard.

My doctor called it that to. After he tapped mine for the first time he said, "WOW! that was a lot of gunk you had in there."”

“What? The hambone connected to the knee bone. The knee bone connected to the?”
