Chapter 12: The Second Morning

Jill awoke the next morning before the sun rose, Tina’s arms still wrapped around her body. She let out a satisfied sigh and wiggled out of the sleeping bag, finding a good spot further away to squat.

When she returned, Tina was awake, rolling up the sleeping bag.

“Hello, cutie,” Tina said brightly. “Only about a half hour until we start again. I smell breakfast at the camp, if you want some.”

Jill certainly did. The pair went back to the camp, still nude, finding several others already awake, eating, many still in the buff.

The breakfast was fulfilling, the rest plentiful.

The start for day two was like the start for day one, done in staggers. This time, however, it was done depending on whenever the runner entered camp: the first runners leaving first, followed by the next runners depending on the time they entered the camp after.

Because they had entered camp together, Jill and Tina started together. This was quite all right with Jill.

“If you want to go ahead, that is all right with me,” Tina said as they ran. “I know you are faster than me. But I also know that we will catch up with each other once we get to the next camp, unless you keep going.”

Tina nodded. She honestly was not sure if she would keep going or not.

But once she woke up, once she got her shower, once she had breakfast and once their start neared, she went into automatic mode.

She swallowed her nervousness and continued on. Yes, she had many bundles of nerves. However, she had been planning, looking forward and training for this for more than a year. After one day, she could not simply stop.

So, at their allotted time, she approached the starting time along with Tina and was sent off into the woods by Mallory and dozens of naked cheering fellow runners.

Once again, they ran naked.

Tina made the bold move to leave her clothes behind. “We are still going to be in the woods after today,” she said. “Maybe even after tomorrow. Less to carry.”

Jill still took her clothes with her, just in case.

This morning was as cool as the other one, but with a little bit more cloud cover. A little bit of a stronger breeze moved through the trees, but the branches stopped much of the wind. Still, the temperature and the breeze felt good on their naked skin.

In silence, the pair ran together, sometimes exchanging little words here and there. At one point, they passed another runner, a lady who was walking quickly. She smiled to them and exchanged pleasantries, but did not say much.

“I heard no one dropped out after the first day,” Tina said after a six miles were between them and the aid station.

“I’ve been at races like this where some have dropped off after a few miles,” Jill said with a chuckle. “I guess sex and running DO mix!”

Tina laughed out loud. “Did you enter your results on the app last night?”

Jill nodded. “I did not do great.”

Tina shrugged. “A lot of days to go. You just have to get comfortable. Besides, being naked the whole day gives you a whole lot of points.”

Jill nodded.

“Did you count our cuddling?”

Jill smiled. “Yeah.” She ran a few more steps in silence. “It was nice, too. I mean ... cuddling.”

Tina smiled. “It was nice, yeah. I didn’t do it just for the points.”

The pair ran in silence for a while.

Tina cleared her throat. “Listen ... and you don’t have to answer this, but ... are you a virgin?”

Jill choked back her laughter. “Oh fuck no.” She ran a few more steps in silence. “But I guess I could see how you would think that. No. I’ve been with a lot of guys, but it’s been a while.”

“How about women?”

“Yeah, women too, but it’s been a while.”

The two ran in silence some more. The breeze picked up.

“There are some storms to the south of us, but I don’t think they are supposed to get anywhere near here,” Jill said. “I think they are supposed to stay in Oklahoma and head east.”

Tina nodded. “I do love running in the rain, though.”

Jill nodded. “Never done it naked, though.”

Tina laughed. “Same. Damn. I bet that feels nice!” They again ran in silence for a while. “How long are you going to stay naked?”

Jill shrugged as she drank some hydration.

Tina nodded. “Same here. Looking at the map, it looks like we are on trail for another few hundred miles. There are three day-end aid stations along that way. Now, not all of it is private land, but from my understanding, even the public ones are not well used during the event.”

“How do they manage that?”

“You ever see those ‘Trails Closed For Maintenance’ signs? Trails need mainitaining, sure, but not that much. Sometimes they are closed for special events, like these.”

“And the park ranger allow that?”

Tina laughed. “Sometimes they do, yeah. Other times ... well, let’s just say they don’t know. I guess they do a good job of hiding the drop bag stops at night so no one nosy comes along.”

As the sun climbed into the sky, the day got warmer – a little bit warmer and more humid than the day before. The wind still continued its steady pace. As the temperatures warmed, Jill and Tina slowed their pace, sometimes going into quick walks.

They passed a few runners, engaging in brief conversations with them.

Even rarer, a runner would pass them.

“I would love to give that man a nice, mouth watering blowjob!” Tina said as one runner passed them as she checked out his butt.

The man turned mid stride, looked at her and laughed, winking.

She chuckled uncomfortably. “Didn’t realize I was fucking yelling that!” she said sheepishly.

“So what’s stopping you?” the man asked, turning around, a full erection pointing in her direction.

Tina and Jill watched as he cock swung in the air, still moving from his recently ceased momentum.

Jill turned to Tina. “Yeah, what is stopping you?” she asked with a grin on her face.

Tina looked at Jill, her mouth open and brows knitted. She chuckled uncomfortably, motioning at her surroundings without any real direction nor meaning. The man simply stood there, feet away from them, arms crossed at his chest, erection growing more still.
