On the road again

Day 8 has begun and it's a great morning for running. The temperature is low and the sun is not yet beating down on us. Jason just completed his first mile and said, "It's early but everything is feeling good." Holly is on her way to today's finish to pick up Jason's long-time friend, Kevin. Kevin will join me on the support crew today. Holly needs to go home to prepare the finish line.

We're heading into some really rural areas today so my internet signal might konk out on me. I'll post as much as I can as Jason makes his way toward Washburn, Missouri.

    Jason, your altitude is way up there in my book. I stil do not know where his mom and I went wtrong with this country music stuff from my son.

  2. Thanks Walter. I think Alex will be 'ok'. I've read that parents actually don't always have as much influence over their children as their close friends do. I think Chenger is to blame!

  3. Have to tell you that the girls last night on the way to Dairy Queen made me click the miles because they said from now on they are going to run to Dairy Queen versus drive.
    Other great comments:
    "I have to redefine the word impossible now."
    "6 miles just doesn't seem that long any more compared to 311 miles."
    And the one that got us laughing was when Laura said, "Yeh, forget using a car. I'm going to roll my suitcase home to St. Louis from now on! You made a great impression!
    We will all be thinking about you All DAY TOMORROW. You Go Guy!
