Today was the most climbing we have had so far. However, it was not the most difficult day we have had. We were proud of how much stronger we have gotten, and how much better prepared we are compared to the first few days.
It was a picture perfect day; blue skies and green as far as you could see. It felt like the classic Midwest, but more hills than we’re used to in Illinois. It got quite warm in the afternoon, but everyone persevered. Rachel was our van driver today, and she found a really nice spot next to a pond for lunch.
We rolled into Westwood Baptist Church around 4:00 today and were met by extremely generous hosts yet again. Snacks were waiting for us, we got showers, our laundry is being cleaned, and we were provided an amazing dinner of chipotle, salad, and fruit salad. Additionally, we each get to sleep on cots tonight. Our three favorite things are showers, food, and sleep, so we are all feeling exceptionally lucky.
We will be staying here for two nights. We have an event day tomorrow in which we will be going to the Zanesville Relay for Life. We are looking forward to it and are thankful for another rest day!
