The noon checkout time for the Best Western was the latest I'd seen on the run. It gave me plenty of time to meet up with Andy, the cyclist who I had met outside of Frankfort on his ride from Iowa. He brought with him a Gazeteer for the state of Indiana which he generously donated to the cause. In return I gave him the food leftover from the Octoberfest feast my aunt Christie had left me two days previously.
I left the motel earlier than I had to in order to make a long walk through Valpo. I really enjoyed my stay here and it was a really cool town that I hope to find my way back to soon. After the walk, I got to the outskirts on the opposite side of town to start my run on county roads. The run itself seemed very long. It had been four days since I'd run more than 30 miles. An extra hour was added to the time consumed by the run as I crossed into the Eastern Time Zone.
I arrived to the Martin home at about 6:30-one of the latest finishes to a run for this entire trip. Brandon was a friend of Craig who I'd met in Valparaiso yesterday. He worked the night shift as a police officer in South Bend, home of Notre Dame, just a few miles to the north. Fortunately he had tonight off.
Brandon's wife April cooked a delicious dinner of spaghetti bake which we enjoyed together with their four kids. Once the kids had all gone to bed April, Brandon and I stayed up a bit longer in their finished basement where I showed off my terrible video game skills. Brandon had to stay up the whole night to get re-acclimated to his work schedule but I could only last to about 11:30.
