We got off to a late start today and were faced with very warm and humid running conditions. A closed road forced us to look for an alternate route. Eventually we had to climb a steep embankment to get to a limited access highway. Getting the stroller up this steep incline was a true challenge! Yes, we ended up having to run awhile on the interstate highway.

During our run today we were in three states—we started in Pennsylvania, ran on some roads in West Virginia, and then crossed into Ohio.

When we were ready to stop for the night, we saw a Chinese restaurant with a sign advertising a buffet for just $6 a person. Our quest to eat at a Chinese buffet on this trip has been completed! We usually see Chinese restaurants at the wrong time of the day and were happy to finally find one at the end of the run.

I called home tonight and got some awesome news! The Ogo now functions! Cingular’s customer service worked with my mother to get everything set up properly. My mom rocks!

Our parents are helping us distribute t-shirts that have been ordered. We were amazed to find out that most of the last t-shirt order has been sold. A new order will be called in tomorrow. Remember to get your order in soon if you want a shirt from this next shipment.

We traveled 22 miles today and are spending the night in Steubenville, OH.
