DAY DATE
So I was put to the test more in the last three weeks than throughout the whole trips. I logged over 10000 Miles on the road from July.1 – July.14/2015. It was worth it and I have had a few days of rest now to gather momentum for the second half run.
I have altered my schedule to accommodate a lot more rest in the 2nd half as I will be making lots of more media appearances on TV and radio.
I added some games in New York City, Baltimore and Washington, and took some games away from Boston and Philadelphia.
As of this date, I have eaten 44 hotdogs, drank 48 beers, took down 100 energy drinks, and 4 gallons of coffee. I have logged 45,000 Miles by air, ground and public transport. I have used 22 of 40 free rental days. The Buick Verano I just returned put on 12,500 Miles of that alone. I now have a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze for the 2nd half that I will venture on similar mileage with.. Read the rest of this entry
