Day 14 - Saturday, June 1, 2013

Steve had an interesting run today. He and his crew followed a road through Ghost Town, Nevada. The steep mountain road was full of switch backs. It was windy when Steve reached an old cemetery on top of the mountain. At the base of the downward slope of the mountain, he discovered another cemetery. It was dusk so he kept running. He did encounter two live people while running but had no conversation with them. Steve and Mike lost phone contact with Gary who was on the far side of the mountain in the RV. They reunited at 10 PM and decided to call it a night.

Day 13 - Friday, June 1, 2013

Steve completed his run last night running the last 2 miles to Ely Nevada with his dad, Gary. Steve ran up and down several mountains, the highest being 7,600 ft.

Mike worked on Steve's legs as the people from KoKo Fit suggested. This has helped to relieve the pain and the swelling.

Day 12 - Thursday, May 31, 2013

Steve is headed for Eureka NV. Today was a much better day for Steve. Mike helped get Steve's legs ready for the long run today via some stretching excercises.

Steve is running through great physical pain but has a spirit that will not quit. He is amazing and knows that friends and families all over the country are following him. The families who are experiencing Autism and the school children who know about Autism believe in Steve's ability to complete this run.

The Star Tribune newspaper ran a fine on-line article about Steve today www.startribune.com.

He is in the desert of Nevada. While running at night, because the heat of the day was getting to him, Steve encountered a pack of coyotes. He decided to call it a night and let the coyotes have the road.

Steve running in Nevada, on highway 50 near Austin. Today Cinder Wolf stopped by to see Steve. Cinder was part of Marshall Ulrich's support team when he ran for the world's record. Gary and Mike were glad to talk with Cinder and got some advice.
