Stop 29: Rochester, New York

Finally back. Explored Presque Isle in Erie, Penn today and went to Niagara Falls again.

Stop 28: Cuyagoha Falls, Ohio

Did some exploring to in Columbus and northern Ohio, while making a trek to the rascal flatts concert to listen to it in the parking lot. Driving up to the concert someone gave me a parking lot VIP pass and some lady was selling tickets for 20 bucks. So I ended up upgrading my Parking lot show to an actual concert on the lawn.

Shout out to mikes tv and appliances 

Stop 27: Columbus, Ohio

Ran through crown hill cemetery today. Went to Indianapolis Zoo and drove to Columbus and watched a free concert,

Dolphin show 

Stop 26: Indianapolis

Explored the city today and ran on the Monon trail.

Walked in this building and it turned out to be the USA nationals for swimming. I had a chance to meet Ryan Locke but I wasn't too interested so I walked in and out.

Stop 25: St. Paul, Illinois/Missouri?

Got out of Iowa before all the tornado warnings.  Drove around and did some Ice Mitt stuff. Not much to explore in the Midwest honestly. Went for a run in St. Paul. Not a place I would like to visit again.  Being white and jogging weren't the most popular things in that city. 

Stop 24: Des Moines

Watched the usatf championship track meet all day and ended up cooling down with Galen Rupp.

Tyson Gay 

Men's 800

Stop 22: Rocky Mountains

Woke up and ran... But mostly walked and then realized I was at 9400 ft.  Then I drove to the Rocky Mountains and hike the continental divide and climbed a mountain.

Life lesson: don't expect there to be an easier way down when your climbing up a mountain.

Big climb 

Stop 21: Colorado

Woke up ran some trails with Redd and got a steak sub at Moochies which was on diners drive ins And dives.  Then I started my drive to Rocky Mountains where I stopped to camp about halfway.

Best sunset of the whole trip

Campsite with snow included! 

Stop 20: Salt Lake City Part 2

Explored Idaho today despite it raining the whole time. It let up the 2 hour period I went out to run and explore in Boise.  Then I got into Salt Lake City and had a nice dinner with Redd and some of his friends.

Stop 19: Idaho

Heading back east. Spent all day preparing for a meeting with Nike engineers.  Went to the headquarters and had lunch and drove past a bunch of famous athletes parking spots with cars in it.  The Nike campus was awesome a bunch of running trails and everyone went to work in sports attire.
