Hello Everyone,
If anyone would like to follow me on my virtual run across the US now in it's final phase ... here is the web address.

It has been quite a journey and I feel incredibly blessed to have had the support and encouragement from all of you along the way. (Actually it is 2,372 miles from San Diego to New York City.)

My wife Charyl has been my biggest fan, and I could never have accomplished what I have so far, without her by my side. Never once have I heard her discourage me, though I know she
gets tired of listening to me talk about my running and "carb-ing out" before a marathon!

No Atkins diet for you mister! :D

You've done a heck of a lot of running. I'm anticipating this final leg, so I expect all the details as you run into NY. hehehe.

You know I admire all that you've done. Even when I could run, never in my wildest dreams or days, could I have acheived even an 1/8 of what you've done. :o

Thank you for the compliments. Their is so many 'role models' on this site, many whom are not runners. I think we all have something God given to offer each other. Ar bee ... Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
