june 11 day 33 30 miles total 859 infusions of food made a huge difference in my energy level. glen, jessica, and phil kept me cheerful. and ron… i can’t say enough about ron. today was a nice recovery from the last two letdown days. toledo is only about 10 miles away. earlier i was ready to concede that pete’s record was safe. but a quick recalculation shows that i only need about 300 miles Read more

june 7 day 29 27 miles total 752 as i expected the big push to get back on schedule yesterday came with a price tag. this morning was sort of flat and i didn’t muster much of a push this afternoon. but i am through most of cleveland and hoping for a strong day tomorrow. i think i will have a crew again. having food and drink readily available (and not carrying the pack) is Read more
