Hello, All!
Today I’m in Illinois on my farewell tour. We stayed with my grandma and grandpa in their beautiful log cabin on Friday night. Yesterday we went to see my grandpa Mac, my godfather Bruce, our old friend Joe, and my grandma Bev. Today we’re in Alton, Illinois. We’re going to visit my nephew Anthony for a few days. It has been an exhausting tour, but well worth it all.
Since we’ve been on the road and been busy visiting family I haven’t had a free moment to train. I’m hoping that tonight, after we go to the gambling boat, of course, I’ll get a chance to go for a run or ride the stationary bike at the hotel. I’m not really concerned about not getting proper training this last week before the Epic Road Trip. I know that the first several days are going to be tough, but we’ll hit our second wind and pull through it stronger than before. The first few days will be more of a mental than a physical struggle.
Just as a side note, gas prices here in Alton, IL are $4.17. Anybody else want to take up biking yet?

Maybe we could get everyone in the family to take an epic road trip as a proest against high gas prices.
