Friday 31st Dec To: Saco 44.7km / 27.8 miles
Saturday Jan. 1st. To: Kittery. 52.2km /32.4 miles
Total for 56 Road Days = Total: 2,521.1 km / 1,566.5 miles.
Tomorrow Friday, running to Saco. Meeting some runners from Portland in Starbucks, Falmouth to direct me through Portland
NOTE FRI EVENING: The Portland runners stood me up I waited for over an hour of precious time during these short days. And I had to think of my host far away in Saco on this night, New Years Eve.
They did not even phone Starbocks… I found my way through their city.. It was not easy with the closed to pedestrians segments of highway. As I have mentioned before I have not had even a single rude word uttered to me on the run but I am taking this as the first rude deed the fact they didn’t even phone Starbucks. Shame on the Portland Runners. I am sure the runners in Massachusetts will be more considerate when I get there in a couple of days.
Tomorrow New Years Day. I plan to run from Saco to Kitterly finishing at McDonalds. This is a little more than 50km/ 31 miles. The couple I am staying with here in Saco Alex and Dennis say they can pick me up as they have to go there on business and can ferry me back to the same spot on Sunday to continue on into Massachusetts. So I can run without the buggy tomorrow.
Month 2 total km run = 1,173.2km = 729 miles.

The snow was accumulated fast at my house and the wind was really blowing hard. Any chance you will run near Augusta? My friend and I are interested in maybe running with you for a short distance.

Hi Tony, The weather in New York and the East Coast area has made the news back home, it looks awful. Having caught up on your blog, things still seem to be going very well, well done. Happy new year

Hi Tony – amazing what you’re doing. Too bad your route doesn’t swing through Virginia – we would be delighted to host you for a night. In lieu of hospitality we made a donation to Aware. Best of luck — Jeff

Thank you so much Jeff for the kind words and your very kind donation. I am going to be altering my route when I get to Hudson , Ma. and start heading west with the intent to hook up to highway 50 across the country. I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment as I do not have any support crew so I have not had a chance to check the route in detail yet. Thanks again and happy New Year. Tony

Tony,
Just heard about your awesome adventure from a posting on Village Soup. I see your itinerary brings you near us on Friday. We live south of Biddeford, in Arundel, just off Route 1. You’re welcome to spend the night if it works for you. If we don’t hear from you, best of luck on your journey.
May the wind always be at your back.

Thanks John and Beth but am sorted for Saco on Fri but I really appreciate your kind offer.
Re: Village Soup. They screwed up with that piece as it was riddled with mistakes and facts were not checked properly. Biggest error and hurt was describing my world records as ‘ age group ‘ world records. Anyone that knows me knows I only count overall records and disregard my ‘age group ‘ records. I understand an apology/correction is being made in the next issue. I am having many problems with journalists. One even lied and delibertly twisted facts tabloid style to work with his motivation piece he was writing for his readership.

Hey I met you at Irving in Wiscasset Maine today. This is the blog, right? Good luck! I dont really know much about blogs but I’d like to follow yours. Lexi
December 30th, 2010 at 3:08 am
Thanks very much Lexi. Yes this is the site! Just to tell the readers. I met Lexi in the Irvine/ Circle K service station. I was wearing (what else do I wear!) my red jacket and as the attendants also dress in red she asked.. ” Do you work here? ” I had to take my balaclava off to explain that I am running around the world! Nice to have you along for the journey Lexi!
