So we have been pathetic in keeping up here and will try better this month! In any case, we will kick off the month by reporting our progress on route to Spokane. We got in another 227 miles in July (1392 miles on the year), allowing us to cross over from North Dakota into Montana! Our current stop is Hysham, MT.

July running was pretty fun, and we even got some hills in. While not as big as the hills in Montana, we ran all around Norwood Michigan during our vacation, giving new meaning to gently rolling hills. But any run followed by a dip in the cool waters of Lake Michigan is worth it (at least says Cho Cho would took several dips in the lake en route!).

Hysham, MT is a pretty small town – only 91 families according to the town’s website, so i think we will keep running! Actually it would be nice to visit one day. Here are some pictures of Hysham:
