Certainly the faithful love of the Lord hasn’t ended; certainly God’s compassion isn’t through! They are renewed every morning. Great is your faithfulness. -Lamentation 3:22-23
I am sorry I haven’t had time to post. 🙁 Monday we got there at 6am, did stairs for 9 hours, snuck off to Planet Fitness for a shower and an aquabed massager, then drove nearly 4 hours to St. Louis. There just hasn’t been time 🙁 I will post a bunch of recaps here over the weekend if at all possible.
Here is some KC coverage:

Here is an excellent piece from my hometown Sports site:

There will be a great piece from the St. Louis leg yesterday that airs tonight and several more in the works :). I will post all of these on this site too.
Cliff’s Notes: The first two days have been great and tiring. Day 1 I did 35 flights (up and down) of the Board of Trade Lofts in KC. It was particularly hard even though the venue was wonderful. Yesterday the Enterprise Center was amazing. I did stair ovals (up, over, down, over, up…wash, prince and repeat) for my 9 hours, completing over 200 rounds. Day 3, starting in about an hour, will be at Cape Girardeau. Back and forth, outdoors, from the wonderful old courthouse to the riverfront. Tomorrow will be Springfield, completing the 4 corners. 🙂
Off I go. Thank you very much for both the support and the patience with my lack of updates. I have done a lot of Facebook Lives and the like. If you can find me there, please do. I haven’t been as active on Twitter, but will work on that as well.
Today is the Longest Day…soak up every minute of it friends! Off we go!

Update: Nothing new on mom. She has had a couple pretty good days according to my family. Smiled a couple of times, which makes me smile a bunch of times. 🙂
