The migration northward continued today. Thanks to all the kind words on Tyler's behalf. I've had him read all the comments.
We left Gallup, NM this morning and arrived in Oklahoma City, OK this evening after exactly 700 miles of driving. I drove the entire width of New Mexico and I swear that entire state is one long hill from west to east. Tyler took over in the afternoon and got us through the pan handle of Texas without any run ins with the local law enforcement and then continued on into Oklahoma. It was amazing the difference in color coming across the border, Texas was dry and brown, whereas OK was green, very weird.
Once we arrived in OKC, I headed straight to the fitness center. As much as I don't really enjoy the treadmill, it was the best option. After a day of 11+ hours in the truck sitting, it felt really good to move the legs a bit. I took it easy at 10:00 pace, except for the last mile because the hotel manager was trying to shut the room down. I upped the pace and pushed the time limit a little but got the 5 miles in.
I ended the week with 12.8 miles, which is a little lower than average for me one week post marathon. The journey continues (on all fronts).....

Keep on truckin' guys. Hope you are in Indiana tonight as I write this!
you ran 5 on the treadmill? you must have been tired from being in the truck if you resorted to that!
I love road trips. It's funny when you run in little towns--people slow down to look and you know they're thinking, "Who is that?"
Tell Tyler, best of luck... My brother graduated from Culinary school. Exciting times ahead for sure...
