It's starting to come together...

Hey everyone,

It's been a busy week for us as we've started to get the word out about our run, and the response has been really positive.  There's a lot of stuff in the works, but we don't have much to show for it yet. 

Our friends at Waynesburg University are working on putting out a press release for us, so we're pretty excited about that.  We'll be sure to link to that as soon as it goes out.

Lodging is also starting to work itself out, as we have at least a tentative place to stay in 6 of the 10 towns where we plan to sleep.  We're still looking for a place to sleep in the following towns:
  • Jennerstown 
  • Bedford
  • Newburg
  • Harrisburg
If you or someone you know lives near any of these towns and wouldn't mind having three guys crash there for the night, get in touch with us at crossingPA@gmail.com.

Last but not least, thanks to Map My Run (a free site that lets you map your routes, view route elevation, and keep track of your workouts, among other cool stuff), we have an elevation profile of our route.  As it turns out, Pennsylvania is not flat.


Yikes.  I'm certainly looking forward to Day 7, when we can say that the worst of the run is behind us.
That's all I have for now.  Hopefully I'll be posting more often in the near future as we finalize more details.  Thanks for reading!

-Brian
