The Run: A quick update

The Plan - No Cheating......

How We will do It

1. We will begin each day around 7am (planning 10 hour days) and end at 5pm or there about.

2. Each day we will go approximately 30-35 miles. If we are not in the city where our lodging is located, we will stop at 35 miles and drive to our lodging location for the night

3. In the morning we will drive back to our previous days stopping point and begin the days' run.

NOTE: I made errors in the estimated mileage between a couple of resting points (Ithaca & St Louis for example.) I will continue on and thru the stopping point to obtain the estimated mileage for the day; we will drive back for our nightly lodging.

So if you see me in our support vehicle it is because we reached our daily estimated mileage

Gj will not cheat :)

The Run: A quick update

Just a quick up date for days 1 & 2 of the Run. I will provide an in-depth report at the end of the journey

Day One Mileage - 29.5 + miles

Highlights -

Met and ran with Megan Gruenberg (I really hope I have the spelling correct as forgive me if it is misspelled) and her family. Thank you so much for the card and present guys. It was really asurprise to have it give to us when we checked into the motel for the night...you sly stinkers I love all of you.

Thanks goes out to Pastor Tucker at the Country Side Wesleyan Church. WE really need your facilities and your offer was greatly appreciated and as was your prayers for us.

Linda - just outside of Petersberg. We are praying for your complete recovery, God Bless you.

Peterburg Road got the best of me..leading to an injury - I am icing the ligament or tendon (whatever it is - it is sore) now... Plus a stone hit my toe and bruised it deeply - pictures follow.

Day 2 Milage - 30 miles

Highlights -

Connie fighting cancer (your husband told me as I ran by) Our prayers are with you

John At Lodi's (I think that is the right name for the food market if not I will correct) Food market, Thank you for allowing us to use your restroom but more importantly THANK YOU FOR THE UNSOLICITED DONATION of $100.00 - GOD BLESS YOU.

There is much more....but I will save that for the official report.

Now for the Pictures

Day 2 - just a couple as I am tired more later :)
