Your adventure is a great story and inspiring. Not many would have enough balls to live out their dream, especially one as demanding and hardcore as yours. Listening to you talk tonight about how excited you were when you were coming into Colorado reminded me of a line from my favorite book "On the Road" that I'll post at the end. I wish you luck and safe travels, and hope you can accomplish your goal of running around the world. I look forward to reading your blog and tracking your progress. Best Wishes! Josh And there in the blue air I saw for the first time, far off, the great snowy tops of the Rocky Mountains. I took a deep breath. I had to get to Denver at once. ...I crossed a railroad overpass and reached a bunch of shacks where two highways forked off, both for Denver. I took the one nearest the mountains so I could look at them,... And here I am in Colorado! I kept thinking gleefully. Damn! damn! damn! I'm making it! J.K.
