COLORADO BY THURSDAY! THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY RUN AROUND THE WORLD!!
I should make it to the highlight of my world run other than the finish Colorado… Rocky Mountain High Colorado on Thursday.
Tuesday night I am about half an hours run past Trenton.
The state line is just 59 miles circa 95km away.
I have endured the longest and toughest winter of my life to be able to run thru the Rocky mountain state. When I was in Maine last December I could have headed directly south to the warmth of Florida and continued thru the Caribean thereby cutting significant time and distance off this journey. I am not dreading the mountains, I can hardly wait I am so thankful and happy to have lived in the most beautiful place I have ever been to!
AS I mentioned before I lived there from 1994 -2002. The towns I lived in were Fort Morgan, Brush, Gunnison, Crested Butte and Lake City. I honestly hope it will be the same as I have loved and remembered it from before. It seems all my friends have moved on.
I am still craving to be able to get my hands on a Colorado State flag to carry over the state line on Thursday (provided I don’t take a rest day and I don’t expect to!)
Perhaps someone can help me get one if they know of any driving east to Nebraska in the next few days?
I have emailed the nearest Colorado town Wray twice and sent a post card but no responce yet I would love to have some local runners at the state line when I run over
If anyone knows of anyone that can put me up for a night anywhere along my route or can get the Colo flag please text me 978 875 4154

Hi Stephanie! Nice to hear from you and it would be nice to run with you again. I am not sure if I am going to Denver though I am going close. See you on the road. Tony.

I started watching your progress after our brief chat in Oxford. It’s an amazing thing you’re doing, and looks as if you are making good time. I hope the weather continues to get better as you head into Colorado.
