Day 8: Mobridge to Bowdle

Hello Folks!!

Boy- Today was an extremely long day for everyone... I have to first thank Jason Peterson (Nolan's cousin) for hookin' us up at his place for the night. By the way, thanks for bringing us the the Jammer (Windjammer resteraunt) for the great food. Also, thanks for introducing us to Matt, he is a good guy.

We started out the morning (0400 wakeup) with some eggs, toast and oatmeal and it hit the spot. The morning started out great for us because guess why? (small test for you):

A) Blizzard conditions
B) 40 mph winds in our face

C) Rain coming down in sheets

D) Sky was clear with winds from NW

E) Blisters were more manageable

F) All of the above

** If you chose A you are incorrect. D is the correct answer and it was our first nice day!! Thanks for all the prayers, because they must have been answered after yesterday's debacle.

It was great to have my Mom, sister Erin and her boyfriend Shawn stay in Selby to come and cheer us on for our long day into Bowdle. The great thing about that is when I called Erin to see where they were, it turned out that they were 1 mile down the road in Selby! I ran down the hill and there they were! It was a wonderful site--- Thanks to Mom, Erin & Shawn for being here and driving all the way from Minneapolis! WOW-

Today I decided I was not going to run a marathon distance...so I told Nolan this & he laughed because of the mileage thing... Well, I told him I was just going to go out and run 3x 5K's with a cool down, then go after a couple of easy 10K's before gearing up for the half-marathon! I then would cool down with another 10K followed by 2x more 5K's. After that, it was an easy stroll into the finish! Life is all how you look at it. Make it hard, and it will be. Be positive, and things will be much easier for you!! That's how I tackle it-

This was a 45 mile day today, so we needed all the encouragement we could muster up...and between my family, the Kaup's from Hoven, like my sisters-in-law Jill (who also brought her two boys, Tyler & Dawson-who ran too) I am sorry Jill could not ride with us and her horse, due to the blizzard in Rapid City, but it worked out just as well with you running with us!

Jason & Kay Kaup also came out with Connor & Riley to wish us well. Also thanks to Jodi (and Sunny), and Jackie. It was great to see Gladys & Elaine, Wayne Stuwe, Tim H. & Mr. K (who ran a long way), Shannon Stuwe & family and ...(well others too, and thank to all) they came out in fine fashion to graciously be a part of our adventure.

I want to thank each of you that came out today to walk and run with us! That was not only inspiring to us, helping us gut through that last several miles, but it made me realize that there are so many people out that that truly care about what we are doing and that means everything to us both--- Thanks to Kim and all of the folks from Bowdle that came to greet us at the end!!!

I cannot believe how many people came out at the Hoven turn-off and Tubbies in Bowdle (our ending spot) to cheer us on and be there while we mashed through the last of the grueling miles.

I just thought it was important to share with all of you that today was particularly special to me in that my Mom walked with me...To remind you all that she is part of why I am doing this whole thing!! She is a uterine cancer survivor of 31 years and she walked with me to show her support---I am speechless. Just so you all know, my Mom is one of my all-time favorites and she is also a source of strength for me, so you can imagine what a moment we had together!! Thanks Mom-

I never imagined this journey would take on the life it has. I am extremely elated that it has turned into an outpouring of support, but it is a very humbling experience. We are in the presence of such great people and when people like Linda Kaup met us on the road with her grandaughters holding up "Chemo IS Harder" signs, it choked me up. Linda a a very strong lady who has also battled cancer and has a wonderful outlook on life!! And she should, she has a wonderful family--- Thanks Linda

I also wanted to thank my mother-in-law Mary Jo Kaup for coming out today to take the fantastic pictures of our experience today. They are remarkable and we will cherish those forever! We cannot possibly capture those moments, so thank you MJ---

We also wanted to thank Heather Vanwell for coming back over to Jason & Kay's for the leg massages...I think it will help immensely on the 30 miler we have to look forward to tomorrow-

Thanks again to everyone that came out today- you certainly made our day brighter!!!!

Brendan~

*** Nolan is sleeping...so my post will have to do for now until he re-edits this later.***

Day 7 - Glencross to Mobridge

Alrighty...let me start this post by saying Moms, Mother Hens, people who worry excessivly, or folks with weak stomachs should probally skip this one and wait for the Day 8 post. It's also a LONG post so go to the bathroom, get a snack and settle in for the long haul!

So we woke up this morning to the nice surpise of no snow on the ground. Cold and windy and rainy but no snow. We had a good breakfast with our hosts, Frank & Judy Schwietzer, and by 6:30 AM we were being dropped off at the same spot we were picked up at the next day.

We hit the road in full rain gear with B.O.B. covers on. To put things in perspective this morning when we left the weather channel showed a temprature of 30 degrees, sustained 33 MPH winds from the east with gusts to 50 MPH, and heavy soaking rain. We knew things would be tough, however, the forecast wasn't showing any relief throughout the day so we could go now or sit around and wait and still have the same conditions later on. We figured we should hit the road just the same and get this done with as soon as possible.

It seems like instantly after stepping our of the vehichle at our drop off point our rain gear was already soaked. We cinched down our coat hoods and look out of a roughly 3 inch hole for the next few miles. Being that the highway was so wet, nearly freezing water was coming off the tires and hitting our shoes, soaking our shoes and socks instantly. As if the sideways rain, wind and cold temps wern't enough, every car that drove by threw road scum and a "power washing" of water on us. Rain gear is great and water proof sounds nice, but let me tell you...THERE IS NO SUCH THINGS AS WATERPROOF...only water resistant to a certain point, then your goinjg to get wet regardless. The "water-proof" thing lasted about 45 minutes then I was soaked to the bone. It was somewhere within this first 45 minutes that Mother Nature started to make things even more far out by throwing a gust of wind my way that literally threw B.O.B. into the ditch. The contents of my cart were scattered and blowing around in the ditch and B.O.B. was laying down on his side, begging me to call it a day.

Alrighty...so at this point we are a few miles into our walk; soaked, cold, and battling some serious headwind. Then things changed for the worst. Brendan was about 1/4 mile ahead trying to convince a passing motorist who stopped to make sure we were OK that yes, we actually are of sound mind and yes we agree this is crazy and rediculaous but the show must go on. AT this point I'm not sure we are qualified to consider outselfs "of sound mind" but thats beside the point! After the car pulled away we talked had a chance to catch up with each other on how the first 6 miles had gone. Brendan's toes were in tough shape, as he could not feel a couple of them. I agreed that if we continued in this situation we were bound to have feet that looked more like hamburger than feet. Things were seriously desperate as far as cold and wet was concerned and we decided to needed to come up with a plan. We knew if we didn't do something soon someone was going to be hypothermic or frostbitten...we needed make a decision and commit to it.

Realizing that Brendan and I are proablly the only 2 people in the world that really care about being "self-supported" we needed to swallow our pride and do something to better the situation. We were going to end the day and flag down a vehicle to Mobridge. Right after stopping our body stopped producing heat leaving us more vulnerable to the elements. There we were standing on the side of the road, Brendan hiding behind a telephone pole, me squating behind my cart, both trying to get out of the wind anyway we could.

I've been an some crazy adventures all over North and South America and have run into some situations while mountaineering where I knew my safety was in jeopardy. This situation was no different. Squating behind the cart, shivering uncontrolably, our options were to wait and flag doen a car or throw up a tent, change into dry clothes (that were in drybags in the carts), and waiting the storm.

Not knowing when the storm would run out of steam we flagged down a truck. I introduced myself to the driver as "Freezing and willing to pay for his diesel to Mobridge...in fact...if you let us ride we will ride in the back with our carts". I got all this in before he had a chance to say no and drive away. Before we knew it we were riding in the back of a truck, at 80 MPH, down a SD highway in a fierce storm. Both of us were shivering like crazy, sitting in the back of this truck starring at our B.O.B.s covered in ice.

So...we had to swallow our pride a little bit, accept help, and get a ride for about 24 miles. WHAT WEINIES HUH!?! However, by making the right decision now we didn't jeopardize the rest of the trip, we get to hit the road another day and get to hit the road tomorrow with all of our toes and fingers we started with (me with 10 and Brendan with 9 1/2)!

Tomorrow we get back on the horse and do it all over again!

Nolan

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, now that you heard from old "Six Toes" on our AWESOME day, here's a bit from me---

Frank and Judy Schwietzer are wonderful folks near Glen Cross who put us up in their hunting lodge, called the "Howdy House"...a must go if you ever need a great getaway for hunting or to get a break from city life. Frank is a great story teller and knows a million jokes! I think Judy has heard them all---many times, but we sure thought he was a card!

I knew today would stink when I walked out of the lodge and felt the "pelting" of rain as we walked to the house for breakfast. It is amazing to think that we skirted the "blizzard" that nailed Rapid City and the Northern Hills when we watched the news reports this morning. If we would have started a week later, we may have never made it! Can't think about that now-

As I ran with my head facing the ground, not really looking up often (due to the freezing rain & crazy wind), I focused on the white line because then I knew I was OK. I would look back once in awhile to make sure Six Toes was OK. I have been running ahead of Nolan because my blisters now are having offspring and that is nice! I have to run because that causes the least amount of pain and even though they are squishy, I have to try and focus on positive thoughts---a challenge for sure.

I became concerned today when I could no longer feel my toes or fingers. I thought for awhile that if I kept running into the sheets of icy rain that blood would certainly be sent to my extremities when the body feels threatened or in danger. Then I remembered that my brain must have gotten frost-bite, because when people start freezing, the body protects the core...not the extremities. Boy, I am sure glad I snapped out of that stupid train of thought! It could have proven to be a major mistake and one that could have been costly.

I started to feel a bit despirate after we decided we should not continue on. With no more heat being generated by our running, our core temps were dropping quickly and so too was our IQ. There are very few times in my life that I can honestly say I thought I may be in a serious situation in which I thought I may be in dire straights...and this was one of them. Here we were- on a lonely road, not well traveled, and we needed to get out quickly.

Then came the Dale's from Timber Lake (Bill, Jesse, and Tucker) and picked us up in their pickup. We road in the back of the truck bed for a few miles, and I noticed that Nolan was shaking uncontrollably!! He could no longer feel his fingers and I was growing more concerened. They did stop in Trail City and shoved us in there to warm up...I don't think we could have possibly made it all the way to Mobridge. Thanks guys for saving our bacon!!! We owe you BIG-

We got dropped off at the ALCO store and tried to warm our bodies. The cappacino was UNBELIEVABLE! Then, to my amazement, SSG Mike Mullen, from the Army National Guard introduced himself and came to get us and bring us to the Armory to get a warm shower and put on some dry clothes...how AMAZING IS THE GUARD---HOOAH!!!! Mike basically is the MAN because he also loaned us his pickup (even though it's a Chevy...) We also met up with SFC Dan Heil, who grabbed my extra "stuff" when I had to make Chuck lose some weight on the road. I also want to thank Mike and Dan personally for helping out!!

We had two interviews when we pulled into town from the local radio station (KOLY AM 1300) from Nate and the Mobride Tribune from Katie. We had an enjoyable time with them and was glad to share our adventure with them...

We are now at Jason Peterson's house, Six Toes cousin, and are catching up on some things. We both feel bad for not doing all of the miles, but don't regret the decision to stop- and that decision may have proven to save some digits...

My family (Mama Murph, Erin my younger sis, and Shawny- Erin's man!) is driving here from Minneapolis to be with us for the next couple of days We have a really long day tomorrow anyway (43 miles of joyful bliss). Maybe the weather will turn around and as our clothes dry, we hope you all continue to follow our progress...

Day 6 - Isabel to Glencross

3 MPH...3 stinkin' miles per hour!

Today it was everything we had to try and maintain 3 miles per hour due to an insane headwind. From the time we left Isabel there was a east / northeast wind blowing at a crazy speed. No kidding, it took everything I had to keep putting one foot in front of the other and not sit down and cry! To add to the weather element it started raining pretty much from the get go...sometimes sprinkling, sometimes soaking! We ran the entire run today in raingear. The B.O.B.'s also had their weather shield on which helped make them less than streamlined in the wind. For sure the most interesting weather day we have had yet. I am writing this from Judy and Frank Schweitzer's hunting lodge and as I type this the rain is coming down sideways followed by an actually scary and intimidating wind and thunder and lightning! If this turns to snow tonight I have no idea what we will do in the AM. Although that is my biggest worry right now lets not think of that now and cross that bridge when!
we get to it.

Today was actually a day of little scenery. Not because there wasn't any on our route today but because the majority of the day was spent with my rain coat hood up and pulled as low as possible. I had about a 3 inch slot to see out of which was directed at the white line on the highway right in font of me.

The only out of ordinary thing that happed today was the sheriff pulled over and talked to us. Contrary to what you were probally guessing it was not for breaking the speed limit. Actually he said he had recieved several calls from concerned citizens that 2 guys were running on the highway with "baby carriges". He soon realized that there were no babies on board, mentioned somthing along the lines of "and it looks like you'll survive out here today." and drove off.

Motivation suffered for the last 5 miles or so today because of the non-stop wind in our faces. Physically I am feeling pretty decent but Brendan has said that his right leg is "thrashed" and his foot feels "jiggity jacked".

Keep your fingers crossed that we wake up to sunny skies and decent temps. instead of...well...nevermind!

Nolan

--------------------------------------
Hey everyone!
Well, "Six Toes" is right about how miserable the day was...and as it pours outside, just lost power in the "Howdy House" at Frank & Judy Schweitzers: scary because there is not only lightening, but was thundering as well.

We are in for a spring storm with snow tomorrow. We will deal with it tomorrow, since we can't do anything about it now!

I did not {actually could not} take many pics due to the rain. just when you think it can't get any worse with wind {35-40 mph sustained}, then the rain came and sleet at times- I could have just "thrown in the towel" throughout the day, but what kept me going is the thought of why Nolan and I are out here---to help change the face of cancer.

A word of advice to you all: Don't ever give up on your dreams...cause it is all too easy to do that when things get tough. Dig deep and drive on- you will not regret it!!

I am so glad day 6 is over, and after tomorrow we will be in Mobridge and halfway through our journey! Days are long, but rewarding. This is an adventure of a lifetime and we are making the most of it! AWESOME-

I hope tomorrow shapes up.

Take care and good night.

Day 5 - CoalSprings to Isabel

Today was the day that really made us take a look at our mission and ourselfs and were forced to recommit ourselfs over and over and over again.

The running day started with Bruce dropping us off at the same spot they picked us up the night before. Dealing with our own personal demons like blisters, hot-spots, aches, pains, soreness, and stiffness we settled into a slow pace into a steady headwind. We battled that headwind until the 18 mile mark of the run; at the point the sun came out and the wind dropped off considerably.

Roughly 20 miles into the run KVEN Black Hills Fox News pulled and and did an interview. Brendan also unloaded some of his cart at this point put I will let him talk more about that in his post.

The pace was slow today as the tone for the day was differant than it has been yet on the journey. From start to finish the run lasted 10 hours! We both struggleed with some feet issues, hot-spots, blisters, aches, pains, and other foot nasties that come from covering 160 miles in 5 days. Nothing big its important to take care of them now while they are little issues before they become big issues.

Just for people to know; we are checking our emails that are sent to nolantaylor@pocketmail.com as often as possible and doing our best to email back to everyone who writes. We are also checking the guestbook often and having fun ready the posts from everyone all over the place! After a long day like today it sure is nice to read all the emails and postings that came in while we were running. It's really exciting for Brendan and I to know that people are actually watching the website and the journey and watching our progress across the state. Chemo Is HAader is starting to reach a pretty large crowd and that is a thrill for both of us! It's a lot of work updating the journal every night but it's totally worth it when we know people are enjoying it.

As rough as today was, we will wake up and and do it all over again in the AM...after all...chemo has GOT to be harder!

Thanks for watching,

Nolan~

__________________________________________

Hey Everyone!

It is really hard to describe what the heck happened today...Started out with 25-30 mph headwinds, cold, nasty and downright demoralizing.

We had been going so strong and doing relatively well as far as injuries and attitude, but today was probably my hardest and most challenging day of running---EVER. I started out with a nasty foot thing from the onset, and I somehow pulled it together over 36 miles of just gutting it out. What else can I do...I have no other option- cause quitting is not an option.

My cart (Chuck) decided to become a jerk today and he decided to start making funny noises. Actually, it is very concerning, and so I called my Brother-In-Law, Dave Trautman (Traut-dog) and he saved my bacon today. He made a few calls and Don Kraemer came out in his miny van (you may have caught that on KEVN tonight...hopefully not!) Thanks Don for helping me out!!

Anyway, Chuck had gained a lot of weight lately (75 lbs) and decided he was not going to go on a diet like Nolan's BoB. Since he decided not to listen to me, I then had to spring into action and downloaded (put Chuck through an immediate crash course diet) his gear. Even though he still makes noises, he is much better off with the diet!

Nolan said it earlier about all of our issues that we encountered today, but he failed to mention that I now have a new nickname for him: "Six Toes"...that's because one of his blisters was so big, I thought when he took off his sock that he was maybe born "special", but it proved to be a Monster Blister that basically looked like a 6th toe.

Strolling into Isabel was such a bitter sweet moment! 36 miles is no joke after walking every mile on blisters, stopping to pop them, hit the road again, stop to pop them again, and do the drill over again. We were tested today- But, just when you think you are down and things get tough, don't give up. We didn't, but don't think for a minute that crawling into a ditch and laying down for the rest of the day didn't cross my mind (many times).

What's crazy about all of this, is 31 miles into the run, I turned on "Move Along" by the All American Rejects (google the lyrics---they keep me going when things get rough) and I was all of a sudden rockin' out a 8 min. pace (on my painfully nasty blisters)!! All you have to do is find your pick-me-up when things don't look so bright. You have to dig deep sometimes...and it all works out.

Gotta go to bed. Just hoping that tomorrow will be better for us both.

Take care and stay tuned!!

Day 4: Bison to Coalsprings!

Hey Everyone!!

Nolan and I had a fantastic day to day...We were lucky and fortunate enough to have spent the night at Terry & Mary Haggart's home. They are extremely hospitable and also invited my Uncle John and Uncle Clair to stay as well.

We started out the day by speaking at the Bison School Gymnasium with a wonderfully captive audience. Ages ranged from 6-19yrs. We told the students and faculty why in the world we are running across the ENTIRE STATE for Cancer...and the story is always the same---to help battle Cancer the best way we know how- by running and promoting healthy living while raising money for Cancer research.

It was UNBELIEVABLE how AMAZING the town of Bison truly is!! Thanks to Lola Hedstrom, my good friend, she promoted CHEMO IS HARDER and had the school kids donate their Friday jean day and hat money to our cause. Every quarter that accumulated ended up making a significant contribution...THANKS TO EVERY PERSON IN THAT GREAT SCHOOL---

I met several cancer survivors in that school alone and must say that THEY are our inspiration! Speaking with them made us realize WHY it is so important to continue on making our impact on cancer! I got teary again talking about my dad, but it's OK since I won't every be sorry for my love and admiration I have for him. I think people can relate to that, which makes this journey that much more important on so many levels. Thanks for giving me inspiration---

The day was another HORRIBLY windy day and right in our face (actually wind was again coming 25-30 mph from the South East) Traffic was crazy today cause it seemed as if people were sneakin up on us and swerving out from taking out Nolan several times. These two lane roads don't have shoulders, so we seem to be braving not only the elements, but vehicles as well.

3 miles before we ended our 25 mile day- we stopped in at a country school (called the Progress School). There are 10 students total, from Kindergarden age to 7th grade. There are 2 teachers and 1 aid. We took tons of pics and my favorite is with 3 of the youngest girls and two had their front teeth missing, and the littlest one had a tooth on the bottom missing. They assured me that the Tooth Fairy came and was "very generous".

Tonight, our post is late because we are staying with a wonderful and yet another kind family, The Hendrickson's (Bruce, Dana, Lindsay, Logan, and Layton). They have a beautiful home and wonderful kids. We warmed up to them all right away. Dinner was fantastic (Angus steaks, home made rolls, salad, sweet corn and strawberry shortcake...I know Nolan mentioned it, but WOW). Maybe I won't lose any weight out here on the road!

We are having a blast cause the whole crew and Nolan and I ROCKED OUT and played ROCK BAND!!! It is the coolest game and so much fun! I played the drums, guitar, and I sang...yes...I sang "Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi!!!! Man- I was awesome...Nolan was the man on the guitar and jammin' while Lindsey and her mom sang, Layton crushed the drums, and my man Logan sang his way to glory! Bruce was the talent agent making sure we performed to our potential. And, I have it all on video! HOW COOL-

Take care,

Please stay tuned...

We love all the posts and support from you all!!!

Keep em' coming.

"Make the world a better place than you found it"

Feet and Guts

Feet and guts...probally 2 of the most important things you need to take care of while on the road.

I'll start with feet. Blisters, hot spots, trench foot, mangled toenails, cracks, and other foot nasties try their hardest to take you out of commision when you abusing your bodies like we have and will continue to do on the road. Brendan and I have been sticklers about foot care since the beginning. This may include draining blisters when they occur (in a special way), covering hot spots with an decent covering, applying Mole-skin to open rubs, stopping as soon as we feel a rock in our shoe to prevent issues, etc. So far we have been pretty fortunate with our feet but with all of our preventives and treatments its not by chance happening. These things have to get us another 300+ miles and were doing our best to treat them right!

One of the other most important isues is guts. By this I mean maintaining good nutrition, eating enough on the road to maintain energy without getting sick, and getting inenough calories. The last issue is not something were facing so far in the trip. Thanks to our hosts we are actually eating like kings! Tonight for example we had steak, potatoes, corn, rolls, salad, angel food cake with fruit...were not exactly starving out here folks! Getting enough in on the run is an issue however. After 30+ miles in 1 session everything taste terible and eating becomes a tedious shore. Your senses say "Forget it...were almost there...yuck!" while your mind says "You know you should be eating more...do it or your body will bonk". The best case scenario on this situation is you have something you absolutly LOVE...like junior mints or cinnamon bears. That makes the job a bit easier. Worst case scenario is your stuck eating another cruddy bar!

Anyways...after day 4 our feet and guts are doing fine, its my unlistened to MP3 assortment that is lacking!

Day 3: Reva to Bison

Hey Everyone!

All is great here and we made it 32 miles today from Reva to Bison. We left Reva from Linda and Rev. Henry Mohagen's home around 6:30am after a stellar breakfast...Thank you Henry and Linda for your wonderful hospitality!! You are wonderful people and Linda, thank you for your "talent show" with your ventriloquist skills. Truly amazing!!

The day started out as a chilly, but gorgeous day. As the day progressed...of course we had to content with the wind, and by the end of the day it got up to somewhere around 20+ mph. That is not only tough physically, but it is very mentally draining! But, all in all- we made it.

We hit an area 20 miles into our run with major road construction. It was crazy and one lane with a pilot car would get you in and out. I tried to stay with that old guy, but he proved too fast for me!! I will tell you that it was like running and pushing our carts through a few inches of sand, or "mashed potatoes" as Nolan describes it...he's not far off on that.

Nolan was a bit a head of me again since I am the videographer & picture guy. Just as I was running up to an approach, I see this white car...they pulled out closer to the road and I thought they were locals so I went up to the car to say hi. It was amazing- I hear "Hey, do you know which way Bison is?" I commented, "I hope it's this way" I am only 2 miles from Bison at that moment. As I approached the car, I see two guys, two video cameras and guess who? It was my Uncles John & Uncle Clair from the Twin Cities (500 mile drive just today). What a GREAT surprise!!! Also, just before we got into town we met Dorina who wanted to be the FIRST to welcome us into Bison...and she baked cookies for us!!! Thanks so much.

Well, then we went into Bison, met up with Terry Haggart and went to his home. We went into town and ate at the Prairie Lounge and you have to order the Bacon double cheeseburger---I guarantee you have never seen anything like it!! (And I finished it...)

What a great day. Thanks for tuning in...

"Be an inspiration"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi guys,

This has been a great and trying day! I just emailed my brother and sister-in-law and told them how everyday it seems you have a wide range of emotions. Sometimes your excited to be on the road, sometimes you wondered how in the heck you got yourself in this situation, other times you hear a good tune on the MP3 player and life is good again. Wild, wild day.

It has been great getting to know Brendan's uncles. What an awesome surprise for both Brendan and I.

I don't to double up on anything Brendan posted so I'll cut this short.

So far so good,

Nolan

PS - Someone put an awesome quote on our guestbook saying "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go". Awesome!

Another quote on the road came from a friends of mine from Sturgis I called when I got cell recpetion..."Keep Smiling." Man did he give me that advice at the right time today. Thanks Randy
