Hangin' In The Hills

Coming to you live from the side of a steep hill at the Branson time trial as we chase the Tour of Missouri cycling race across the state toward St. Louis this weekend. Hard to believe that Team Discovery (Lance Armstrong's team) will cease to exist after this season and they have chosen this inagural race in our state to say goodbye. Aubs is ready in her yellow jersey for all the action. After today, we're headed to two more stages in St. Charles on Saturday and back home to St. Louis Sunday. Watch for a complete Tour post wrap-up, featuring Murph's photography and some great videos, coming to the blog on Monday.

Thought with all the negative news articles, and doom-and-gloom media stories, we'd leave today's post with something positive. Last weekend, you might have heard about the horrific injury to Buffalo Bills player Kevin Everett which initially left him paralyzed. After doctors publicly speculated that he would probably never regain movement in his limbs, something inexplicable happened: Everett was able to partially move his arms and legs. Doctors have revised their prognosis, now saying that the chance of Everett walking again is a "realistic possibility" and calling his progress "miraculous". You can read a related article about the power of prayer and possibilities at: http://www.startribune.com/503/story/1420147.html.

Now back to the bike races. Talk to you soon. Until then, pick up the pace and run your own race.
