Adam got dry therapy two nights in a row in Dallas and has been feeling awesome! He said he hasn't felt this good since Day 1! The team has been all high spirits with Adam feeling this great! This changed around sunset at mile thirty seven for the day when Adam’s right shin started flaring with shooting pain again. Even though he's experiencing pain again, he finished 55 miles today. We're using tonight to focus on helping his shin feel better. Here we come Day 39!

Happy Easter! Today the crew celebrated Easter by starting the day like normal at 5 am sharp, then heading on to mass at a local church, and sharing the holiday with a big brunch all together as a team. Even though it was a holiday, Adam still worked hard and completed 45 miles today for a total of 1,714.6 so far and 759 to go! Four ladies even joined in for a few miles in the afternoon, too, after they had already done their workout for the day! Alisa and Tera were just so excited to meet Adam coming through town! During such a busy day, the team squeezed in a bit of fun and want to wish everyone a Happy Easter with the above video

Today was a slower day than normal, but Adam still progressed by getting in 29 miles from 5 am to 8:30 pm. He was experiencing a lot of pain in his right shin and right hip. He’s amazing to persevere through all of the pain. Progress is progress! One of the best parts of the day was having two puppies follow Adam for 3 miles and keep him company. The crew would have loved to keep the pups as our trans-con mascots, but we reunited the puppies with their family. Onto Day 44 in Louisiana!
