Had a good day again today going 37 miles before we stopped for the night. On the way Matt found a place that had 99 cent malts so we had 2 each--a little extra energy for the day and made the run a little easier. This morning Mr. Link took us out to one of our favorite eating places--McDonald's--and we filled up on breakfast and got on the road by 8. We ran in rain most of the day--nothing hard just kind of a drizzle but at least it was a little cooler. We also met a nice yellow lab along the way that we named Rabies. He kept us company for part of the day.
Matt injured his other leg somehow. He's not sure if he sprained it or injured it breaking the ground speed record with the stroller. He will have to take it a little easier until it heals. Of course I will probably have to carry him again but that's what happens when you run with the older generation. Its really flat now so no new records coming for a while.
We are about 10 miles from Urbana, Ohio and hope to get there for church tomorrow. On Monday we are supposed to meet up with Matt's parents for a night or so.
Tonight we are staying at a nice younger couples house. They offered us supper and better then that they are going to let us take showers. It has been close to a week since we had a shower so most welcome it will be.
This post is going through my Dad but we hope to have the Ogo on Monday and then we can start daily posts of our own. We greatly appreciate all that our parents are doing for us on this run and would not be able to do it without their support. (Brandon did not say that but he was probably thinking it)
Keep your comments coming we like to know we are being followed.
