Well, I made it to Indiana. I caught the red-eye from LA to Chicago at 11pm Friday night, and I landed in South Bend six hours later. As expected, I’m pretty wiped out. Today we had a big cookout at my Mom’s house and I got to meet my new nephew Isaiah. He’s a cutie! I’ll have pictures. Tomorrow we’re doing the same thing over at my Dad’s. I also got to go for a run tonight with my Mom, who was calibrating her new Nike+ system. We’ve already got a distance challenge set up!
