ONE YEAR ON THE ROAD! 12,847.5km
105 KM FROM COSTA RICA BORDER. I SHOULD BE THERE IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
Total to date 12, 977.8 for 295 road days.
October 28th 2011. West of Managua km 6.5 on west/east route ca 02 to Jinotepe at sign ” Managua 45km “ This is on the south Ca 02 route.Today 45.8km as I routed my way around the city. Commute back to Managua. Great days work clearing this place, enough said! Lots of stops at start, it took me a while to get goin but finished running hard and strong. Ran without pack today as good bus service for commuting. Spot still not working. I am trying to find a solution to this.
October 27th From km 41 to km 6.5 in Managua City, Capital of Nicaragua. Today 34.5km. Very hot but not as bad as yesterday. Strong today. Finished early today as I plan to run from the hotel here (hopefully early!) and commute back,
October 26th From km 91 Leon to km 41 = 50km. Very, very hot day, many stops, shattered at end of the day.
One year on the road today, Tuesday 12,847.5km for 292 road days. Circa 8,000 miles.
The dream lives on. I am as happy as ever.
Thank you all for your great messages of support and best wishes.
Many thanks also to my sponsors The North Pole Marathon, Great Outdoors, Chariot Carriers and DryMax socks.
Today I ran 40km and finished a little past Leon. During the day my Spot crashed and I believe it was probably due to a missed yearly subscription as it started this day last year. I hope this will be up running soon!
I had considered setting out to break my road record for the run to celebrate! That is something like 75.5km but I declined later due to the Spot being down as it would not be totally appropriate time to claim a new road record!
I got myself a nice hotel and dinner in the hotel.
Heres to the next year and after that it will all be downhill!!
I seem to have gotten over the Athletes Feet! and would like tyo thank all at the Amigos for Christ mission center especially Kelly, Jackson, all the doctors that checked me out and Dr. Christian for his help and advice, even if he told me to stop and give it one more day after just 9km yesterday!

I had the chance to meet with Tony that day (one year anniversary). I am traveling across the Americas on a motorcycle, so I was riding my bike when I saw that guy running on the side of the road. I turned back to talked to him, the funny thing is that Tony would not stop running at the beginning until he realised I was also on a long trip then he took a break and we had a nice chat on the side of the road.
I was amazed to run onto Tony, his project is amazing and I which him all the best for the rest of his long journey.
Keep the spirit Tony !!!
