Pushed 25 miles from Lebanon, IN to Crawfordsville, IN
6:00 a.m. CST – We got everything packed up to leave for Champaign, IL. Andy aired the tires in the trailer, Jeep, and racer to get ready for the push. Our first media stop was in Lebanon, IN with Matt Hendrix from the Lebanon Reporter. In the interview, I told Matt that I was doing the Revolutions tour to inspire and motivate all Americans to get fit. I’m also providing clear, concise, easy-to-understand information about health and fitness. To win the war against obesity, I am working with city and community leaders by providing resources free of charge to create lasting health and fitness initiatives for all. The battle will be won in the communities where people live, work, and play. I truly believe lasting success can happen with the commitment of individual communities like Lebanon, IN. I want to encourage all community members to get involved in making their community a healthier place to live. To find out more about our Tour and our efforts, go to www.kevinsauders.com. Our Tour is a non-profit foundation and we welcome any support from individuals or organizations that want to help support our efforts, making grass roots health and fitness initiatives easily available to all Americans.
I mentioned that the sponsors we have right now are in-kind sponsors like Baymont Inns and Suites, Under Armour, The Roho Group, Sunrise Medical, and Imshapingup.com. Imshapingup.com is providing online resources to enable all people in America to go online to get the information that will enable them to create lifelong health and fitness initiatives for themselves and their communities.
2:00 pm. CST – I presented a plaque thanking the city of Lebanon, IN for their commitment to health and fitness and for their support of the Kevin Saunders’ Health and Fitness Tour of America. The City Treasurer, Debbie Offering, presented me with a key pin. She designed this pin for people who make a difference in the city of Lebanon. I was the first recipient of the key. It was an honor for me to receive the pin. The people here are really welcoming and great. I hope they find the motivation to get and stay fit. After the ceremony, a Lebanon police officer led me out of town and I pushed on to Crawfordsville, IN. I averaged just over ten miles an hour; 22.5 miles took me approximately 2 hours.
8:30 p.m. CST – We arrived at the Champaign, IL location of one of our sponsors, Baymont Inns and Suites. We unloaded the gear, checked our email, made some calls, and went to bed at around 10:30 p.m.
