ow far could you go on your
two feet? Across America? I would like to introduce you to two men, Charlie
Engle and Marshall Ulrich, who are doing just that. Their adventure is called
“Running America” and the web site is www.RunningAmerica08.com.
Charlie and Marshall are running
separately, each having crews and support vehicles. Check out the web site to
see some great photos, read their blogs, and track their progress. Right now, they
are in
Nebraska. They started in San Francisco and will end in New York. Their
goal is to finish on October 27th. That’s 45 days!
Along the way, local runners and walkers
are turning out to accompany the two runners as they cross America. The photo
shows Charlie in the middle of a pack of runners. What an experience.
Both runners have experienced foot
problems, something that is expected to some degree when one runs and walks so
many miles in such a short time. I commend Charlie and Marshall for their
efforts. I know them both and am proud of their accomplishments.
May they run strong and safe.
