Belleuve Wrap Up
My time in Bellevue was wonderful. Just what I needed. A time to explore and enjoy the outdoors. Was blessed greatly by my host family, who treated me like one of their own. Already miss them greatly.
With school getting out, speaking engagements are getting harder to find, so this week I got to speak only twice, which was actually wonderfully, especially after some weeks when I would speak 14 times.

Dubuque Running Recap
Start Time: 7:00a End Time: 6:00p
- Total Mileage: 35.3 miles
- Weather: 80's. Lots of sun.
- Very hilly. My hamstrings started cramping for the first time. I don't think they have experienced hills like this before. People tell me Iowa is flat, I will beg to differ.
- My left knee is still in a bit of pain, but was able to work through it.
- Was stopped by a guy named Ryan, got to chat for about a half an hour with him.

It was a good day of running. Really thankful for yet another successful running day. Glory be to the Creator. I'm headed to bed, my body is really sore, and I need some rest.
