This Seemed Like a Good Idea Last Fall

I'm sitting at the start line for the River to River Run in Southern IL, an 80 mile run from the Mississippi River thru the Shawnee National Forest to the Ohio River. I'm the anchor (as in the slowest runner) on an eight person team named "This Seemed Like a Good Idea Last Fall". We take off at 8:30 am and hope to be done by the 8 pm closing of the finish line.

I'll be updating during the race if I can find a signal in the Shawnee National Forest.
