Manchester Wrap Up
Manchester Iowa is a wonderful place with some wonderful people. Really enjoyed my short stay in Manchester. It went by really fast.
Was blessed with several opportunities to speak in Manchester: The Franklin Underground, Youth For Christ, a lunch gathering for younger kids, some churches in a nearby community.
Also got a couple shorter distance runs in.
Learned how to drive a tractor & make my own coffee cup out of stump of wood.

Kept score at a baseball game. One of the games went to 13 innings. 5 hours of keeping score was awesome. Kept me on my toes. |

Waterloo Running Recap
- Total Mileage: 46.4 miles (24.5 miles on Monday, 21.9 miles on Tuesday)
- Weather: Really hot, really humid and really windy. Upper 90's. Went through a lot of liquids and sunscreen.
- Wasn't feeling too well on Monday. It might have been due to the heat. Stopped in Independence for the night.
- Crazy to think, this was the last run of the first-half of the Awake My Sole journey. Get to speak to a boy's camp this weekend, then I'm gonna take some time to allow my body to rest and recuperate.
